Using: set_global_assignment -name QIP_FILE in .tcl script fails - Quartus - environment-variables

Title says it all really.
I have a setup that requires the use of environment variables when setting these kind of assignments. Most seem to work, but when it comes to QIP_FILE assignments in a tcl script, Quartus errors.
Using an explicit path in the .qsf project file works. Is there any way of using environment variables in a .qsf file, or am I doing something wrong in my .tcl script?
The line I am using is:
set_global_assignment -name QIP_FILE $::env(MY_VAR_PATH)/my/path/my.qip
Any help on this would be great,
Thanks in advance
EDIT: The error I get when attempting to use the .tcl script is:
------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Can't open project: flash_leds
while executing
"project_open $project_name -cmp $ap_name"
(file "/opt/altera/15.0/quartus/common/tcl/internal/qsh_smart.tcl" line 60)
------------------------------------------------

So I managed to find a solution!
I was calling this .tcl script as source in the .qsf file (as it included other scripts which also needed sourcing. Turns out, for some reason, that the
set_global_assignment -name QIP_FILE ...
command doesn't work when the .tcl file is called using source (but other set_global_assignment calls do work... I don't really know whats happening there!).
To solve this I had to create another .tcl file and move all of the set_global_assignment calls to there, leaving the other file with only the other sourced scripts. This new file then has to be included in the .qsf file in the following way:
set_global_assignment -name SOURCE_TCL_SCRIPT_FILE <filename>
This seemed to solve my issue, and the QIP file was correctly found using the environment variable path.

trying to run an .exe file in lua

recently i have been trying to run a script in lua that through os.execute() will execute a script in C# compiled into an executablethat is in the same directory as my script.
In my first attempt adding the entire directory until the executable worked:
os.execute("C:\\ServerTest\\test\\tex\\testcode.exe")
however I need this script to work on other computers, which means I can't add the entirely path to the file.I tried countless methods to execute the .exe file inside the same directory without using the entire path and none of the methods worked
os.execute("./testcode")
os.execute [[".\testcode.exe"]]
os.execute(".\\testcode.exe")
os.execute "testcode.exe"
I even tried to create an environment variable and run the entire directory from it xD
os.execute("set wTest=%cd%")
os.execute("%wTest%\\testcode.exe")
but nothing worked. I also tried to use io.popen() but didn't get results either (because the executable will close a computer process, it does not give any output :V)
does anyone know how I can do this?????

.env file Flaged as not being an object when deploying trough DevOps CD pipeline

I have just created a .env file to separate my environment variables from my main docker-compose file. I can run this document on my local machine fine with no errors or issues but when I try run it through my CD pipeline I get the following error.
[error]Top level object in 'C:\BuildAgent_work\r38\a\"Myproject Name"\drop\ .env' needs to be an object not 'class 'str'.
I first thought this was because I had set up my build/CI process wrong but I have played around with it and have had no luck.
I have also done some research online to find others with the same problem but none relate to DevOps in anyway so it has been unhelpful
I am not sure how to reproduce this problem but if anyone knows I can try provide some of my code if needed
Edit:
Here is a snippet of my .env file. Check comment below for my thoughts
ContainerInfrastructure_Version=6.7.93-beta.1
ContainerInfrastructureCore_Version=6.7.41-beta.1
AuthenticationWebService_Version=6.7.52-beta.1
CRM_Version=6.7.52-beta.1
Expected result:
Deploys successfully
What I'm getting during the docker-compose task:
[error]Top level object in 'C:\BuildAgent_work\r38\a\Goldpine.ReleaseManagement\drop.env' needs to be an object not 'class 'str'.
Ok so I figured it out. I'm not sure how to explain this briefly but I'll do my best.
So the problem was within DevOps itself not my code. It turns out a .env file only works/gets picked up if you run the docker-compose command from within the working directory that the docker-compose.yml file exists.
When it went into DevOps it was not running the command from within the downloaded artefact directory but by creating a path to it using the -f command.
So long story short, If you use a .env file you need to set the working directory within the CD pipeline to your artefact folder for it to be able to see the .env file correctlly.
I hope this is clear enough if not just let me know and I'll try change it accordingly :)

Modifying HAProxy Lua Library Path

I am trying to load Lua script from HAProxy. In the Lua script, the following line is causing an error:
local http = require("socket.http")
Intially I gathered from journalctl -xe output that the library was not installed. I installed it using luarocks install luasocket. This did not solve the issue. The new error is module "socket.http" not found. Following the comment in this post I realized that I must change the settings for Lua library path in order to resolve this issue.
Now, I want to know the following:
Do I have install HAProxy+Lua from source and modify the library path pre installation?
If building from source is not necessary then, I believe I must change the path using syslog as suggested by the comment from post linked above. If this is the case, how do I do that and what settings do I need to change/add to syslog.conf?
Are there are any other solution that I am overlooking which, would easier than any of the above?
Thanks for your help in advance.

I am still getting the same error as reported before.
EDIT 2
Found this post on Lua require function quite helpful. Following the discussion, I tried the following:
package.path="/usr/share/lua/5.3/?/?.lua"
package.cpath="/usr/lib64/lua/5.3/?/?.so"
I added these lines at the top my lua script that's causing the error. I also modified the environment variables, LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH with the same value. The error still persists.
I am out of all possible options at this stage and would be glad if someone can shed some light on this issue.

Notepad++ sets incorrect path when running script

I have a simple script that I want to import into another with require, but when I run it from Notepad++ I get the usual error that require produces.
The funny thing is that it worked an hour ago and I did not restart the computer since then.
The files are in the same directory, so the simple file name (without .lua) worked and should still work. (relative path)
Lua runs the script just fine.
this is what I entered in Notepad:
cmd /k lua "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Earlier I also had a problem with Penlight, maybe there is some connection, so here it is:
I tried to require"pl" but it failed to find the module. (ran from SciTE, worked prevously)
I tried it in the Lua command line and it worked like a charm.
Tried again in SciTE and voila it worked again.
I have no idea what causes any of them.
ps.: using the lfs module and os.execute("cd /d ...path...") did not work
Lua is searching for your required module in the folders of LUA_PATH. In the script you run via F5, put this statement:
print('current path is:')
os.execute('cd')
require 'someModuleThatDoesntExist'
After printing the "working" forlder (Program Files/Notepad++), it tries to find the required module and fails. The traceback shows that Lua looks through many different folders, none of them being the one containing FULL_CURRENT_PATH, so it can't find the module.
You have several choices:
put your scripts in one of the listed paths
set LUA_PATH in your environment to contain the folder name where your scripts are located
change package.path from your script so it knows where to look for other modules. You could do this by either:
including an extra parameter to your F5, namely CURRENT_DIRECTORY, and make your script take its first command line param (CURRENT_DIRECTORY) to add it to package.path
parse arg[0] when your script starts, to get the folder containing script, and extend package.path
For example with #3, first option, you would use
cmd /k lua "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
in notepad++ and in your Lua module you would use
thisModuleDir = arg[1]
package.path = thisModuleDir .. ";" .. package.path
require 'yourmodule'

How to see vimrc files used during startup

I've moved my vimrc file out of the home directory to pathogenize the setup, but it looks like my vim is still picking up a redundant vimrc file that I made somewhere. Is there some variable in vim that I can echo that'll show what files were used during startup?
:scriptnames lists all sourced script names, in the order they were first sourced.
Look for the $MYVIMRC variable:
:echo $MYVIMRC
After starting vim, you can type
:set runtimepath
See the docs here: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'runtimepath'
I don't think #skinp's answer is necessarily sufficient. the runtimepath variable is the very definition of all places vim looks
Additionaly, you can launch Vim with
$ vim --startuptime filename
which should write a list of loaded scripts (including vimrc) and their respective processing time to file filename.
