Issue #21781 has been updated by Earlopain (Earlopain _). https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/16177 ---------------------------------------- Feature #21781: Add `fetch_values` method on `ENV` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21781#change-116444 * Author: Earlopain (Earlopain _) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- In https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10017, `fetch_values` was introduced for `Hash`. `ENV` is hash-like but is missing the method. Here are the differences between hash and env right now: ```rb irb(main):006> Hash.instance_methods - ENV.methods => [:merge, :compare_by_identity, :compare_by_identity?, :>=, :deconstruct_keys, :dig, :<=, :>, :<, :to_proc, :flatten, :compact!, :default=, :default_proc, :default_proc=, :default, :transform_keys, :transform_keys!, :transform_values!, :fetch_values, :transform_values] ``` `flatten`/`dig` among others make no sense for `ENV`. Some I don't see why they are not present but I won't argue for them since I have no use-case. Here is code I wanted to write: ```rb # Get many env variables and crash if one is missing user, pass, year, target_dir = ENV.fetch_values("USER", "PASS", "YEAR", "TARGET_DIR") ``` For now I am simply adding `to_h` and all is good. But should I have to? Ignoring a small amount of methods, ENV is very close to a hash already. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
