Watch Environment Variables on windows

[mathysd]

Are the environment variables with the watch command supported on windows?

This commands works as expected on linux

npx -c 'lerna watch -- echo $LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME $LERNA_FILE_CHANGES'

when making a change I get:

header packages/header/src/Header.tsx

When running the same command on windows and making a change I get:

$LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME $LERNA_FILE_CHANGES

It might be missing in the docs but the $ variables are Unix based only and not cross-platform, so a $var can only be read with %var% on Windows, or in your case that would be %LERNA_FILE_CHANGES%, if you want a cross-platform approach you can use cross-env lib

lerna watch -- cross-env-shell echo $LERNA_FILE_CHANGES
