如何从Java中设置环境变量?我发现我可以使用ProcessBuilder为子流程做到这一点。不过,我有几个子流程要启动,所以我宁愿修改当前流程的环境,让子流程继承它。

有一个System.getenv(String)用于获取单个环境变量。我还可以使用System.getenv()获得完整环境变量集的Map。但是,在该Map上调用put()会抛出UnsupportedOperationException——显然,它们意味着环境是只读的。并且,没有System.setenv()。

那么,有没有办法在当前运行的进程中设置环境变量呢?如果有,怎么做?如果不是,理由是什么?(是不是因为这是Java,所以我不应该做邪恶的、不可移植的、过时的事情,比如触摸我的环境?)如果不是,有什么好的建议来管理我将需要提供给几个子流程的环境变量更改吗?


当前回答

在需要为单元测试设置特定环境值的场景中使用,您可能会发现以下hack很有用。它将在JVM中更改环境变量(因此请确保在测试后重置所有更改),但不会更改系统环境。

我发现Edward Campbell和anonymous的两个肮脏的黑客组合效果最好,因为一个在linux下不起作用,另一个在windows 7下也不起作用。所以为了获得一个多平台的邪恶黑客,我将它们结合起来:

protected static void setEnv(Map<String, String> newenv) throws Exception {
  try {
    Class<?> processEnvironmentClass = Class.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment");
    Field theEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theEnvironment");
    theEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
    Map<String, String> env = (Map<String, String>) theEnvironmentField.get(null);
    env.putAll(newenv);
    Field theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theCaseInsensitiveEnvironment");
    theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
    Map<String, String> cienv = (Map<String, String>) theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.get(null);
    cienv.putAll(newenv);
  } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
    Class[] classes = Collections.class.getDeclaredClasses();
    Map<String, String> env = System.getenv();
    for(Class cl : classes) {
      if("java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableMap".equals(cl.getName())) {
        Field field = cl.getDeclaredField("m");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        Object obj = field.get(env);
        Map<String, String> map = (Map<String, String>) obj;
        map.clear();
        map.putAll(newenv);
      }
    }
  }
}

这招很管用。完全归功于这些黑客的两位作者。

在网上闲逛,似乎可以用JNI来实现这一点。然后,您必须从C调用putenv(),并且(大概)必须以在Windows和UNIX上都能运行的方式来执行此操作。

如果所有这些都可以做到,那么对于Java本身来说,支持这一点,而不是让我穿上紧身夹克,肯定不会太难。

在其他地方讲perl的朋友认为,这是因为环境变量是进程全局的,而Java正在努力为良好的设计提供良好的隔离。

事实证明,@pushy/@anonymous/@Edward Campbell的解决方案在Android上不起作用,因为Android并不是真正的Java。具体来说,Android根本没有java.lang.ProcessEnvironment。但事实证明在Android中更容易,你只需要对POSIX setenv()进行JNI调用:

打印C / JNI:

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_com_example_posixtest_Posix_setenv
  (JNIEnv* env, jclass clazz, jstring key, jstring value, jboolean overwrite)
{
    char* k = (char *) (*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, key, NULL);
    char* v = (char *) (*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, value, NULL);
    int err = setenv(k, v, overwrite);
    (*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, key, k);
    (*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, value, v);
    return err;
}

在Java中:

public class Posix {

    public static native int setenv(String key, String value, boolean overwrite);

    private void runTest() {
        Posix.setenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "foo", true);
    }
}

有三个库可以在单元测试期间做到这一点。

有Stefan Birkner的系统规则和系统Lambda - https://www.baeldung.com/java-system-rules-junit,允许你做一些事情:

public class JUnitTest {

    @Rule
    public EnvironmentVariables environmentVariables = new EnvironmentVariables();

    @Test
    public void someTest() {
        environmentVariables.set("SOME_VARIABLE", "myValue");
        
        // now System.getenv does what you want
    }
}

或System-Lambda:

@Test
void execute_code_with_environment_variables(
) throws Exception {
  List<String> values = withEnvironmentVariable("first", "first value")
    .and("second", "second value")
    .execute(() -> asList(
      System.getenv("first"),
      System.getenv("second")
    ));
  assertEquals(
    asList("first value", "second value"),
    values
  );
}

上述功能也可以通过系统存根作为JUnit 5扩展:

@ExtendWith(SystemStubsExtension.class)
class SomeTest {

    @SystemStub
    private EnvironmentVariables;

    @Test
    void theTest() {
        environmentVariables.set("SOME_VARIABLE", "myValue");
        
        // now System.getenv does what you want

    }

}

系统存根向后兼容System Lambda和System Rules,但支持JUnit 5。

另外,还有JUnit Pioneer - https://github.com/junit-pioneer/junit-pioneer,它允许在测试时通过注释设置环境变量。

这是@paul-blair的回答转换成Java的组合,其中包括paul blair指出的一些清理,以及@pushy的代码(由@Edward Campbell和anonymous组成)中似乎存在的一些错误。

我不能强调这段代码只应该在测试中使用,而且非常hack。但是对于在测试中需要环境设置的情况,这正是我所需要的。

这还包括我的一些小改动,允许代码在运行的两个Windows上工作

java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)

设置单个环境变量(基于Edward Campbell的回答):

public static void setEnv(String key, String value) {
    try {
        Map<String, String> env = System.getenv();
        Class<?> cl = env.getClass();
        Field field = cl.getDeclaredField("m");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        Map<String, String> writableEnv = (Map<String, String>) field.get(env);
        writableEnv.put(key, value);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Failed to set environment variable", e);
    }
}

用法:

首先,把这个方法放在任何你想要的类中,例如SystemUtil。然后静态调用它:

SystemUtil.setEnv("SHELL", "/bin/bash");

如果在此之后调用System.getenv("SHELL"),则会返回"/bin/bash"。
