Re: Setting environment variables in-memory for unit tests
Hi all,
After trying different external libraries [1
<https://github.com/stefanbirkner/system-rules#:~:text=System%20Rules%20is%20a%20collection,the%20possibilities%20of%20Java%208.>
][2 <https://github.com/stefanbirkner/system-lambda>] and Junit extensions [
3 <https://junit-pioneer.org/>] to varying degrees of success, I eventually
settled on using the <environmentVariables> configuration in the pom.xml as
suggested in Nadeeshan's response.
The environment variable I'm passing is* $SYSTEM:SOAP_SERVICE_TEST*, and as
you might notice, includes special characters, specifically the *$* and *:*.
My issue is that I could not find a way to include the special characters
into the XML element name as follows;
<$SYSTEM:SOAP_SERVICE_TEST>value</$SYSTEM:SOAP_SERVICE_TEST>
Would appreciate some thoughts on how to resolve this.
Kind regards

I'd made an oversight and confused the dollar notation [that's supposed to
be] included in the configuration file with how environment variables are
saved in the system.
Therefore, there's no need to include special characters in the XML
element. It's just <SOAP_SERVICE_TEST>value<SOAP_SERVICE_TEST>
Thanks and regards
