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。

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);
    }
}

像大多数找到这个线程的人一样，我正在编写一些单元测试，需要修改环境变量以设置测试运行的正确条件。然而，我发现被点赞最多的答案有一些问题和/或非常神秘或过于复杂。希望这能帮助其他人更快地找到解决方案。

首先，我终于发现@Hubert Grzeskowiak的解决方案是最简单的，对我来说很管用。我希望我能先讲到这一点。它基于@Edward Campbell的回答，但是没有复杂的for循环搜索。

然而，我从@pushy的解决方案开始，它得到了最多的赞。它是@anonymous和@Edward Campbell's的组合。@pushy声称这两种方法都需要覆盖Linux和Windows环境。我在OS X下运行，发现两者都可以工作(一旦@匿名方法的问题被修复)。正如其他人所指出的，这种解决方案在大多数情况下都有效，但并非所有情况都有效。

I think the source of most of the confusion comes from @anonymous's solution operating on the 'theEnvironment' field. Looking at the definition of the ProcessEnvironment structure, 'theEnvironment' is not a Map< String, String > but rather it is a Map< Variable, Value >. Clearing the map works fine, but the putAll operation rebuilds the map a Map< String, String >, which potentially causes problems when subsequent operations operate on the data structure using the normal API that expects Map< Variable, Value >. Also, accessing/removing individual elements is a problem. The solution is to access 'theEnvironment' indirectly through 'theUnmodifiableEnvironment'. But since this is a type UnmodifiableMap the access must be done through the private variable 'm' of the UnmodifiableMap type. See getModifiableEnvironmentMap2 in code below.

在我的例子中，我需要为我的测试删除一些环境变量(其他的应该保持不变)。然后，我想在测试之后将环境变量恢复到它们之前的状态。下面的例程会让你更容易做到。我在OS X上测试了两个版本的getModifiableEnvironmentMap，两者的工作效果相当。尽管基于本线程中的注释，但根据环境的不同，其中一种可能比另一种更好。

注意:我没有包括对' casaseinsensitiveenvironmentfield '的访问，因为这似乎是Windows特定的，我没有办法测试它，但添加它应该是直截了当地。

private Map<String, String> getModifiableEnvironmentMap() {
    try {
        Map<String,String> unmodifiableEnv = System.getenv();
        Class<?> cl = unmodifiableEnv.getClass();
        Field field = cl.getDeclaredField("m");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        Map<String,String> modifiableEnv = (Map<String,String>) field.get(unmodifiableEnv);
        return modifiableEnv;
    } catch(Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Unable to access writable environment variable map.");
    }
}

private Map<String, String> getModifiableEnvironmentMap2() {
    try {
        Class<?> processEnvironmentClass = Class.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment");
        Field theUnmodifiableEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theUnmodifiableEnvironment");
        theUnmodifiableEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
        Map<String,String> theUnmodifiableEnvironment = (Map<String,String>)theUnmodifiableEnvironmentField.get(null);

        Class<?> theUnmodifiableEnvironmentClass = theUnmodifiableEnvironment.getClass();
        Field theModifiableEnvField = theUnmodifiableEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("m");
        theModifiableEnvField.setAccessible(true);
        Map<String,String> modifiableEnv = (Map<String,String>) theModifiableEnvField.get(theUnmodifiableEnvironment);
        return modifiableEnv;
    } catch(Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Unable to access writable environment variable map.");
    }
}

private Map<String, String> clearEnvironmentVars(String[] keys) {

    Map<String,String> modifiableEnv = getModifiableEnvironmentMap();

    HashMap<String, String> savedVals = new HashMap<String, String>();

    for(String k : keys) {
        String val = modifiableEnv.remove(k);
        if (val != null) { savedVals.put(k, val); }
    }
    return savedVals;
}

private void setEnvironmentVars(Map<String, String> varMap) {
    getModifiableEnvironmentMap().putAll(varMap);   
}

@Test
public void myTest() {
    String[] keys = { "key1", "key2", "key3" };
    Map<String, String> savedVars = clearEnvironmentVars(keys);

    // do test

    setEnvironmentVars(savedVars);
}

// this is a dirty hack - but should be ok for a unittest.
private void setNewEnvironmentHack(Map<String, String> newenv) throws Exception
{
  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.clear();
  env.putAll(newenv);
  Field theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theCaseInsensitiveEnvironment");
  theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
  Map<String, String> cienv = (Map<String, String>) theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.get(null);
  cienv.clear();
  cienv.putAll(newenv);
}

我偶然发现了这个线程，因为我有一个类似的需求，我需要设置(或更新)一个环境变量(永久地)。

所以我研究了如何从命令提示符永久设置一个环境变量，这是非常简单的!

setx JAVA_LOC C:/Java/JDK

然后我在代码中实现了同样的功能 这是我使用的(假设- JAVA_LOC是env。变量名)

        String cmdCommand = "setx JAVA_LOC " + "C:/Java/JDK";
            ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder();
            processBuilder.command("cmd.exe", "/c", cmdCommand);
            processBuilder.start();

ProcessBuilder启动cmd.exe并传递您想要的命令。 即使您关闭JVM/重新启动系统，环境变量也会保留，因为它与JVM/程序的生命周期没有关系。

public static void set(Map<String, String> newenv) throws Exception {
    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);
        }
    }
}

或者根据joshwolfe的建议添加/更新一个单独的var并删除循环。

@SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked" })
  public static void updateEnv(String name, String val) throws ReflectiveOperationException {
    Map<String, String> env = System.getenv();
    Field field = env.getClass().getDeclaredField("m");
    field.setAccessible(true);
    ((Map<String, String>) field.get(env)).put(name, val);
  }
