Bug fixes 🐛 👏
- Windows compatibility improvements - A big welcome back to original maintainer @frankcarey who fixed path handling and binary execution issues on Windows platforms. Thanks to Frank for identifying and helping resolve these Windows issues! 🙌
What's Changed
- Add comprehensive test coverage for multiple env files feature with 25+ unit and integration tests
- Implement StringArray type for flexible YAML parsing of both single strings and arrays
- Maintain full backwards compatibility with existing .ahoy.yml files
- Add graceful handling of non-existent env files (they are silently skipped)
- Support for comments and empty lines in env files
- Proper environment variable precedence: command-level overrides global, later files override earlier ones
Technical Details
The multiple env files feature uses a new StringArray type that handles both the old single string format and the new array format in YAML. This ensures 100% backwards compatibility - existing .ahoy.yml files will continue to work without any changes.
