wohali opened a new issue #2143: `couchdb` and `couchdb.cmd` startup scripts do not allow overriding JS/CoffeeScript variables URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2143 ## Description It should be possible for a user to set `COUCHDB_QUERY_SERVER_JAVASCRIPT` or `COUCHDB_QUERY_SERVER_COFFEESCRIPT` or the Fauxton document root in the shell before invoking `/opt/couchdb/bin/couchdb` or `couchdb.cmd` and have those settings carry over to CouchDB. Unfortunately, we forcibly override those settings: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/57bf82e5cc3c3ab55ad6c3e46ea2c666ac2711cc/rel/files/couchdb.in#L29-L31 https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/c850ffa889dc1f8bf562107aa07da429357bc8ef/rel/files/couchdb.cmd.in#L28-L29 ## Steps to Reproduce Export the environment var, then invoke `couchdb` or `couchdb.cmd`. ## Suggested fix: Use the following structure: ```bash export COUCHDB_QUERY_SERVER_JAVASCRIPT=${COUCHDB_QUERY_SERVER_JAVASCRIPT:-{{prefix}}/bin/couchjs {{prefix}}/share/server/main.js" ``` or, in the `couchdb.cmd` file: ```batch IF NOT DEFINED COUCHDB_QUERY_SERVER_JAVASCRIPT SET COUCHDB_QUERY_SERVER_JAVASCRIPT="{{prefix}}/bin/couchjs {{prefix}}/share/server/main.js" ``` ## Your Environment * CouchDB Version used: 2.3.1 ## Additional context Migrated from https://github.com/apache/couchdb-docker/issues/149 /cc @janl
