RubyMine doesn't recognize user created environment variables

Question

TLDR: Basically RubyMine does not recognize any user created environment variable when launched from a desktop entry, but when launched from console (using $ mine) it can recognize all the environment variables. What could be wrong?

I am using Google Cloud Vision API and I've already set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to my service account private key file path.

When I launch RubyMine from a desktop entry and run the code below.

require 'google/cloud/vision'

image_annotator = Google::Cloud::Vision::ImageAnnotator.new
response = image_annotator.text_detection(
    image: "path_to_image_file",
    max_results: 1
)

It throws a Runtime Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

But when I run the code from within IRB or when I launch RubyMine from console and run the same code, it runs successfully.

Try putting GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path_to_file without the export in ~/.pam_environment instead. The GUI doesn't read your .bashrc. — muru, May 29 '20 at 09:16
I've created the file and then put the expression but I still get the same Runtime Error. — Burak Kaymakci, May 29 '20 at 09:21
You need to log out and login again for the GUI to see any changes there. Or just restart the system. — muru, May 29 '20 at 09:23
Oh now it works, thank you. Before it was not doing this, I guess I broke something. — Burak Kaymakci, May 29 '20 at 09:30
As to where to set environment variables, yes. Thank you. :) — Burak Kaymakci, May 29 '20 at 09:43
