How to set the environment variable in test?

[xuniaoji]

I have an env variable APP_KEY which should come from Alfred workflow, but what should we do in the test? Could I set that in the test?

I tried:

1. assign process.env.APP_KEY = '14444444' in test file, but when running test, the index.js couldn't recognize it.
2. in package.json scripts: test: export APP_KEY='9840c89040f56003' && ava, still couldn't get it.

Thanks!

temporarily, I modify your package. In env.js file, I add the environment variable and it works.

Since you're using https://github.com/avajs/ava you should be able to use the environmentVariables config option.

For example, in your package.json

"ava": {
	"environmentVariables": {
		"APP_KEY": "14444444"
	}
}

Then in your test you can simply reference that from process.env.APP_KEY.
