I set up an environment variable (Under IDE Settings -> Path Variables)
APP_HOME = /path/to/app_home
One of my tests is failing however with
System.out.println("APP HOME: " + APP_HOME);
With
APP HOME: null/
It does not look like that env variable is being read. What am i missing?
This question is related to
intellij-idea
environment-variables
In addition to the above answer and restarting the IDE didn't do, try restarting "Jetbrains Toolbox" if you use it, this did it for me
It is possible to reference an intellij 'Path Variable' in an intellij 'Run Configuration'.
In 'Path Variables' create a variable for example ANALYTICS_VERSION.
In a 'Run Configuration' under 'Environment Variables' add for example the following:
ANALYTICS_LOAD_LOCATION=$MAVEN_REPOSITORY$\com\my\company\analytics\$ANALYTICS_VERSION$\bin
To answer the original question you would need to add an APP_HOME environment variable to your run configuration which references the path variable:
APP_HOME=$APP_HOME$
