I have a piece of Java code which uses an environment variable and the behaviour of the code depends on the value of this variable. I would like to test this code with different values of the environment variable. How can I do this in JUnit?
I've seen some ways to set environment variables in Java in general, but I'm more interested in unit testing aspect of it, especially considering that tests shouldn't interfere with each other.

The usual solution is to create a class which manages the access to this environmental variable, which you can then mock in your test class.
public class Environment {
public String getVariable() {
return System.getenv(); // or whatever
}
}
public class ServiceTest {
private static class MockEnvironment {
public String getVariable() {
return "foobar";
}
}
@Test public void testService() {
service.doSomething(new MockEnvironment());
}
}
The class under test then gets the environment variable using the Environment class, not directly from System.getenv().
