IntelliJ IDEA ultimate version: 2021.3.2

Default shell set to bash

when running from IntelliJ the junit test class file, test cases are failing because it is not able to fetch one env variable. System.getenv("SOME_ENV_VAR") is returning null value.

But when I am running from terminal using mvn test -Dtest="TestFile" test cases are getting passed because System.getenv("SOME_ENV_VAR") is returning a proper value.

How do you run IDE? – y.bedrov Mar 07 '22 at 14:49

You need to add environment variable to your run configuration. See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/objc/add-environment-variables-and-program-arguments.html#add-environment-variables – hazra Mar 07 '22 at 14:52
If it returns null, the variable is not set. Check the javadoc – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Mar 07 '22 at 15:23
