[question] Refer to CONAN_HOME from global.conf

[tonichedgehog]

What is your question?

Hi, I have a question on how to refer to CONAN_HOME from global.conf.

I distribute a custom cacert file using conan config install, and would like to point the core.net.http:cacert_path setting to that file, preferably within the conan home directory.

Giving a relative path doesn't seem to work. I suppose I could use something like {{os.getenv("CONAN_HOME")}}/my_ca_certs.pem, but I can't rely on that environment variable to be set explicitly.

Thanks in advance.

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

Hi @tonichedgehog

this will be solved in Conan 2.0.2. Refer to #13415 for details.

Thanks for the hint @gpxricky!

yes, this would be closed by #13415, where conan_home_folder will be available as variable for jinja.
