How to use env variables inside which-key plugin mapping? [SOLVED]

The example below is not working (error is given when neovim is opened not recognising $env_var) how can I let him recognise the env_var?

g = {

name = "+grep",

a = { "Telescope grep_string", "Grep on all dirs" },

s = { "Telescope grep_string search_dirs={"$env_var/dir1/dir2/dir3/"} cr>", "Grep on dir" },

Thanks

Vimscript: "Telescope grep_string search_dirs=["$HOME/.config"]"

Lua: require("telescope.builtin").grep_string({ search_dirs = { os.get_env("HOME") .. "/.config" } })

tried this but still not woking (tried with and without .. )

s = { "Telescope grep_string search_dirs={os.get_env("prj_path") .. "/dir1/dir2/dir3/"} cr>", "Grep on dir3" }

what's wrong?

You're mixing Lua with Vimscript, the stuff with in double quotes should be in Vimscript

s = { "Telescope grep_string search_dirs=['$prj_path/dir1/dir2/dir3/'] cr>", "Grep on dir3" }

I'm very sorry, but I don't understad how should I do to let it work in lua (I'm using init.vim but this part is under lua << EOF)

@dafunkkk @lckdscl I would advise you to either read neovim’s lua guides:
https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua.html
https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua-guide.html#lua-guide
or have a look at some video tutorials, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7i4amO_zaE&list=PLm323Lc7iSW_wuxqmKx_xxNtJC_hJbQ7R&index=6
If you really want to build your own neovim configuration, you will need to get comfortable with lua.

yeah, just asking here for quick solutions (don't want to spend tons of time reading all the guides)

ok, got it

  s = { "Telescope grep_string search_dirs=['$prj_path/dir1/dir2/dir3/']", "Grep on dir3" },

this works....many Thanks!!!
