in `MemJogLib.kt`:
Copy code
object MemJogLib {

    var testingOnlyChangeForTesting = false

    val BUILD_ROOT: String = File(".").canonicalPath

    private val MJL_BOOKS_DIR: String? = System.getenv("MJL_BOOKS_DIR")

    @JvmStatic
    fun getMjlBookDir(): String =
        if (testingOnlyChangeForTesting) {
            "$BUILD_ROOT/target/test-classes"
        } else {
            MJL_BOOKS_DIR!! // <= NullPointerException HERE
        }
At the start of all tests, I make sure I call initialized:
Copy code
private val initialized: Boolean by lazy {
        testingOnlyChangeForTesting = true
With 
testingOnlyChangeForTesting = true
, the second branch of the 
if
statement shouldn't even be called! When I run my tests from Maven at command line on my desktop, everything works perfectly. Using command-line Maven on the build server, I get:

object class is like static java class
g
I thought a Kotlin Object has an 
INSTANCE
that gets created by a private constructor - a Singleton pattern? Are you suggesting that the 
@JvmStatic
and 
@JvmField
annotations are messing with the initialization code somehow? It might be weird to use them on a Kotlin Object?

From the call stack it seems that you call 
getMjlBookDir
from the class initializer, that is before 
initialized
gets chance to be executed.
