Hi all, I'm new to ktor and kotlin in general. Hope this question has not been asked too many times: how can environment variables be defined for the tests?

Instead of environment variables, you can use configuration properties:

I have used this approach for testing the youkube sample:
https://github.com/ktorio/ktor-samples/blob/master/app/youkube/test/YoukubeApplicationTest.kt#L68

Please, check it and let me know if this works for you.

Yes, this is working. Thanks a lot.

now just the part of the injection of environment variables is not being tested, e.g. ktor.deployment.dbUrl = ${dbUrl}

Not sure if this hack works as a generic JVM option:

Maybe it is possible to hook HOCON to set properties before it tries to read environment variables. (Didn’t tried myself.)

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look.
