如果您像我一样在测试中遇到这个问题，并且正在使用Junit5，那么Junit-pioneer提供了非常有用的注释。maven版本

例子:

@Test
@SetEnvironmentVariable(key = "some variable",value = "new value")
void test() {
    assertThat(System.getenv("some variable")).
        isEqualTo("new value");
}

怎么推荐都不为过。

这是@pushy的邪恶答案的Kotlin邪恶版本=)

@Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
@Throws(Exception::class)
fun setEnv(newenv: Map<String, String>) {
    try {
        val processEnvironmentClass = Class.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment")
        val theEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theEnvironment")
        theEnvironmentField.isAccessible = true
        val env = theEnvironmentField.get(null) as MutableMap<String, String>
        env.putAll(newenv)
        val theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theCaseInsensitiveEnvironment")
        theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.isAccessible = true
        val cienv = theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.get(null) as MutableMap<String, String>
        cienv.putAll(newenv)
    } catch (e: NoSuchFieldException) {
        val classes = Collections::class.java.getDeclaredClasses()
        val env = System.getenv()
        for (cl in classes) {
            if ("java.util.Collections\$UnmodifiableMap" == cl.getName()) {
                val field = cl.getDeclaredField("m")
                field.setAccessible(true)
                val obj = field.get(env)
                val map = obj as MutableMap<String, String>
                map.clear()
                map.putAll(newenv)
            }
        }
    }

它至少在macOS Mojave上运行。

蒂姆·瑞安的回答对我很管用……但我希望它用于Groovy(例如Spock上下文)，并且simplissimo:

import java.lang.reflect.Field

def getModifiableEnvironmentMap() {
    def unmodifiableEnv = System.getenv()
    Class cl = unmodifiableEnv.getClass()
    Field field = cl.getDeclaredField("m")
    field.accessible = true
    field.get(unmodifiableEnv)
}

def clearEnvironmentVars( def keys ) {
    def savedVals = [:]
    keys.each{ key ->
        String val = modifiableEnvironmentMap.remove(key)
        // thinking about it, I'm not sure why we need this test for null
        // but haven't yet done any experiments
        if( val != null ) {
            savedVals.put( key, val )
        }
    }
    savedVals
}

def setEnvironmentVars(Map varMap) {
    modifiableEnvironmentMap.putAll(varMap)
}

// pretend existing Env Var doesn't exist
def PATHVal1 = System.env.PATH
println "PATH val1 |$PATHVal1|"
String[] keys = ["PATH", "key2", "key3"]
def savedVars = clearEnvironmentVars(keys)
def PATHVal2 = System.env.PATH
println "PATH val2 |$PATHVal2|"

// return to reality
setEnvironmentVars(savedVars)
def PATHVal3 = System.env.PATH
println "PATH val3 |$PATHVal3|"
println "System.env |$System.env|"

// pretend a non-existent Env Var exists
setEnvironmentVars( [ 'key4' : 'key4Val' ])
println "key4 val |$System.env.key4|"

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。

(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?)

我认为你说到点子上了。

减轻负担的一个可能的方法是找出一种方法

void setUpEnvironment(ProcessBuilder builder) {
    Map<String, String> env = builder.environment();
    // blah blah
}

并在启动任何processbuilder之前通过它。

另外，您可能已经知道这一点，但是您可以使用同一个ProcessBuilder启动多个流程。因此，如果子流程是相同的，就不需要一遍又一遍地进行这个设置。

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
