Environment variables are not available during unit test execution.

Hi,

I'm writing xunit tests against class libraries targeting dnxcore50. I've added environment variables to the launchSettings.json file via the Project's properties page, but when I debug the unit test the environment variables are not present. Is this the expected way to add environment variables that are used during test execution?

Here's what my project.json looks like:

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "description": "",
  "authors": [ "" ],
  "tags": [ "" ],
  "projectUrl": "",
  "licenseUrl": "",

  "dependencies": {
    "xunit": "2.1.0",
    "xunit.runner.dnx": "2.1.0-rc1-build204",
    "Microsoft.CSharp": "4.0.1-beta-*",
    "System.Collections": "4.0.11-beta-*",
    "System.Linq": "4.0.1-beta-*",
    "System.Runtime": "4.0.21-beta-*",
    "System.Threading": "4.0.11-beta-*"
  },
  "commands": {
    "test": "xunit.runner.dnx"
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "dnxcore50": { }
  }
}

Here's the launchSettings.json

{
  "profiles": {
    "test": {
      "commandName": "test",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "environment": "local"
      }
    }
  }
}

Thanks for the help!
