Passing ENV variable to goss plugin

is there a way to set env variable in the context where the goss binary is downloaded ?
I want to set proxy env variable to let curl || wget to connect on internet

Are you talking about creating an environment variable for the base part of url in the getDownloadUrl method here:

packer-plugin-goss/provisioner/goss/packer-provisioner-goss.go

Line 465 in ac68330

return fmt.Sprintf("https://github.com/goss-org/goss/releases/download/v%s/%s", p.config.Version, filename)

?

no i'm talking about specifying env variable used by the wget/curl command who download the goss binary to change their behaviour, in this specific case use a proxy

I think the plugin does provide that ability using VarsEnv var:

packer-plugin-goss/provisioner/goss/packer-provisioner-goss.go

Lines 472 to 490 in ac68330

	func (p *Provisioner) envVars() string {
	var sb strings.Builder
	for env_var, value := range p.config.VarsEnv {
	switch p.config.TargetOs {
	case windows:
	// Windows requires a call to "set" as separate command seperated by && for each env variable
	sb.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("set \"%s=%s\" && ", env_var, value))
	default:
	sb.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("%s=\"%s\" ", env_var, value))
	}
	}
	return sb.String()
	}
	func (p *Provisioner) sslFlag(cmdType string) string {
	if p.config.SkipSSLChk {
	switch cmdType {
	case "curl":

In case I find some time I could try to provide you an example ..

Hello,

I have the same question and problem:

• my remote instance running goss and the installGoss function, is behind a corporate proxy and can't "curl||wget" directly the goss package from github.

Do you know, if there is a way to override/set http_proxy,https_proxy,no_proxy variable in installGoss part, around this function Packer.RemoteCmdrunning curl/wget ?

https://github.com/YaleUniversity/packer-plugin-goss/blob/master/provisioner/goss/packer-provisioner-goss.go#L333

envVar function does not work at this step.

Thank you for you help
