Any tips? :(

Hi,

Some of my classes, upon initialization (in companion object body), read an environment variable.

I need this environment variable to be set when running tests, before the classes are loaded.

Is there a way to do it with sbt / ScalaTest?

Thanks,

The easiest way looks to fork the tests and give the variables as java options:

fork in Test := true,
javaOptions in Test := Seq("-Dyour.option=value")

Yes, if system properties are acceptable, that is the best way. In 0.13.0, environment variables may be set for forking run and test by configuring the envVars task:
