rules_oci fails to build when appending an env value with :PATH

[blockjon]

According to the docs, I should be able to add to the oci container's env like this:

env = {"PATH": "/additional_binaries:/ddsource/proj/cicd_tools:$PATH"},

However, when I try this, the image fails to build.

Is this a known problem, or, am I doing something wrong?

I am able to get around this problem - I copied all of the $PATH values that the container was using and then I hard coded them like this:

env = {"PATH": "/additional_binaries:/ddsource/proj/cicd_tools:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"},

It would be better if i could use the $PATH variable.

The error message I'm getting has this in it:

OCI Image //mysource/proj/cicd_tools:cicd_tools failed: (Exit 5): image_cicd_tools.sh failed: error executing OCIImage command (
from target //mysource/proj/cicd_tools:cicd_tools)

This should be working, see our tests here

rules_oci/examples/assertion/BUILD.bazel

Lines 101 to 112 in 96062d4

	env = {
	"TEST": "VALUE=",
	"TEST2": "=VALUE=",
	"TEST3": "=VALUE",
	"TEST4": "=V=VALUE",
	# an env that includes previously set $TEST env with a leading `=`
	"LEAD_WITH_REF": "=$TEST",
	"JUST_EQUALS": "======$$$$",
	"1": "VAL",
	# referencing non-existent env vars is just empty string.
	"REFS": "$1:${1}:${NONEXISTENT}",
	},

It would help me a lot if you could provide a repro.

Also what version of rules_oci is this?
