How to use environment variables created during hook execution?

[swithek]

Is there a way to use an environment variable that was created and exported during the hook execution? My configuration is as follows:

before:
  hooks:
   - ./scripts/extract_version {{ .Major }} {{ .Minor }} # determines the version name based on the major and minor versions, sets and exports VERSION_NAME
builds:
  -
    main: ./cmd/main.go
    ldflags:
      - '-X main.versionName={{ .Env.VERSION_NAME }}'

Echoing the result from the script and assigning to a global env variable doesn't seem to work as well:

env:
   - VERSION_NAME=$(./scripts/extract_version {{ .Major }} {{ .Minor }})
builds:
  -
    main: ./cmd/main.go
    ldflags:
      - '-X main.versionName={{ .Env.VERSION_NAME }}'

environment variables do not escape from the hooks, and using $() on yaml doesn't work either.

Env only accepts plain text values, if you need more complex things you probably need to run something like

VERSION_NAME=$(script) goreleaser release --rm-dist
