[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-376) Environment configuration is overridden by arquillian.xml

[Karel Piwko (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-376?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12630373#comment-12630373 ] 

Karel Piwko commented on ARQ-376:
---------------------------------

ARQ-148 implementation allows user to set any property via reasonable default. However, this does not work for environment variables but for properties only.

Suppose following:
{code:xml}
<configuration>
   ...
   <property name="foo" value="${foo:bar}"/>
   <property name="env_foo" value "${ENV_FOO:bor}" />
</configuration>
{code}

If a System property foovalue is defined (via Surefire plugin properties <foo>value</foo>), it will make foo to have value "value", if not it will be bar.
However, if ENV_FOO environment variable is defined, it has no effect, since Arquillian interpolates system properties only.

> It is not possible to define JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME for managed containers via system properties because these values are used only during configuration creation and they will be overridden by arquillian.xml value.
> This is not desired behaviour how to make test execution flexible enough.
