Setting the Environment Variables with version 1.18.0 not working with Junit 5

[visha-r]

I am trying to set the environment variables using the version 1.18.0 and I am always getting null. I am using Junit 5 and have no issues using 1.17.2 version to set the system environment variables. I need to set different environment values for different tests, so not setting the value right after creating the rule. My code looks like the following:

@Rule
private final EnvironmentVariables environmentVariables = new EnvironmentVariables();

@Test
void testEnvValues() {
    environmentVariables.set("service_env", "dev");
    assertEquals("dev", System.getenv("service_env")); // always fails
}

Does this work with System Rules 1.17.2 and JUnit Lambda (JUnit 5)?

[visha-r]

Yes it works with System Rules 1.17.2 and Junit 5.

Same problem here, 1.80.0 and 1.19.0 doesn't work but 1.17.2 does.

[artem-emelin]

Same for me, 1.17.2 works but 1.19.0 doesn't for JUnit 5.3.2

[wojtekk]

The same for me - 1.17.2 works but 1.18.0 and 1.19.0 does not for JUnit 5.5.0

Using 1.17.2 works but throws

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.junit.contrib.java.lang.system.EnvironmentVariables to field java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableMap.m
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release

Is there any solution currently in progress to avoid this error?

Also working with 1.17.2 (with the above warnings) when using JUnit 5. 1.19 does not work in the sense that environmental variables are still NULL after being set.

Jupiter support available in https://github.com/webcompere/system-stubs/tree/master/system-stubs-jupiter - a fork of system-lambda

Any chance this is getting fixed for?

System Stubs is essentially compatible with System Rules (package names have changed) and does support later Java.

@ashleyfrieze Thanks, good to know!

@ashleyfrieze Thanks, good to know!

It wasn't my intention to replace this tooling. I wanted a JUnit 5 plugin that worked a certain way. I've also offered the JDK17 compatible solution to whoever wants to steal the code from my repo. That said, it comes at a price, which is the adoption of mockito-inline.
