Upstart init script does not source environment variables, nor does it pass environment variables on

[timcharper]

Expected behaviour

When I generate an upstart template, I would expect that the environment variables specified in /etc/default/{my-service-name} would be sources and used by Upstart.

Actual behaviour

/etc/default/{my-service-name} is ignored entirely. Further, the sudo command, by default, resets all environment variables, so even if any were specified in the init file, they would be ignored.

Sorry for the very late reply 😢 I must have overlooked this one.

I took a look at the code and it seems this hasn't been implemented yet.
For example the debian systemv start script sources the config file, while the upstart script doesn't seem to contain any code doing this.
