Interactive jobs started inside Interactive Desktop don't export environment variables (Slurm)

We recently had to fix this for our Slurm cluster too at OSC

You can see here how we did it. We just set export SLURM_EXPORT_ENV=ALL in the batch_connect.before_script portion of our submit yml.

batch_connect:
  before_script: |
    # Export the module function if it exists
    [[ $(type -t module) == "function"  ]] && export -f module
    # MATE acts strange in pitzer-exp and doesn't like /var/run/$(id -u)
    export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="$TMPDIR/xdg_runtime"
    # reset SLURM_EXPORT_ENV so that things like srun & sbatch work out of the box
    export SLURM_EXPORT_ENV=ALL
