Darius Cooper commented on SUREFIRE-1365:
-----------------------------------------
I'm not sure how we could reuse the existing variable.
Just as 2.20 has systemPropertyVariables and systemPropertiesFile,
wouldn't this need a new variable,
say, environmentVariables and environmentFile (or environmentVariablesFile)
Can a config parameter be of either one type or another? If so, are there
existing examples?
> Allow environment variables to be read from a file, instead of set as a Map

> Key: SUREFIRE-1365
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1365
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven Failsafe Plugin, Maven Surefire Plugin
> Reporter: Darius Cooper
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0, 3.0-RC1
>
>
> With 12-factors apps and deployment on platforms like OpenShift, there a new
> push on using Environment Variables for configuration. When running
> Integration tests with Failsafe, it would be nice to set the same variables
> as will be set to the target environment.
> Often, there's a file that contains the variables in a key-value pair format,
> just like a properties file. It would be nice to be able to read that same
> file in while setting environment variables for Failsafe and also when
> deploying.
> (There may be some type of simple file-formatting differences, but that's
> typically easy to handle in an automated way.)
> failsafe:integration-test supports an "environmentVariables" parameter. It
> would nice if it could support an "environmentVariablesFile" parameter that
> allowed a simple properties-style file to be read in an set as environment
> variables.
