Making environment variable defined in .yml workflow available during JVM runtime

[mazgajmaciek]

I have an android app that generates separate builds for each environment we have available - due to that we also have separate test users for each environment (e.g. dev-john, stg-john etc.) so I need to have a way to modify which user is being used for corresponding environment.

I have tried adding env variable in .yml workflow as such:
env: ENVIRONMENT: "dev"

So then based on that variable I would like to retrieve it via something like System.getProperty() and select the appropriate user for the environment. Is this doable? When doing printenv I can see the ENVIRONMENT variable is getting propagated in GH Actions build log however it only gives me null when I try to retrieve it in test class with System.getProperty("ENVIRONMENT") during JVN runtime. I also tried using System.getenv("ENVIRONMENT") since I'm using macos runner but still getting only null at runtime.

Please see GitHib Workflow to write correct yml (example). Pay attention that yml is sensitive to line breaks and white spaces.
