Обсуждение: meson logs environment

I've noticed that `meson test` logs the complete environment in meson_logs/testlog.txt. That seems unnecessary and probably undesirable for the buildfarm client. Is there any way to suppress that, or at least only print some relevant subset? (The buildfarm client itself only reports an approved set of environment variables).

cheers

There is an open issue on the meson:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5328 and I confirm that
`env --ignore-environment PATH="$PATH" meson test` prevents
environment variables from being logged.

Ouch, OK, I'll do something like that. The fact that this issue has been open since 2019 is not encouraging.

It doesn't seem unnecessary to me, at all. It's what you need to rerun the
test in a precise way.

Well, clearly I'm not the only person who is concerned about it - see the upstream issue Nazir referred to. In any case, I have got a procedure in my meson buildfarm client for filtering the inherited environment to accomodate this verbosity, so there's no need to do anything else here.
