Apple silicon not able to read environment variable in gradle test

Question

I am using Apple silicon (M1 Processor) for developing sping-boot application.

My JVM is as below.

openjdk version "1.8.0_282"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Zulu 8.52.0.23-CA-macos-aarch64) (build 1.8.0_282-b08)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Zulu 8.52.0.23-CA-macos-aarch64) (build 25.282-b08, mixed mode)

And I am using gradle-6.8.3-all.zip version of Gradle.

Under src/test/resources, there is a property file named application-test.properties and it has variables as below.

test.environment.variable=${TEST_ENV}

My test code for reading this variable is as below.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
@TestPropertySource(locations = "classpath:application-test.properties")
public class EnvironmentVariableReadTest {

    @Autowired
    private TestService testService;

    @Test
    public void environmentVariableReadTest() {
        String variable = testService.getEnvironmentVariableFromAutowiredComponent();
        assertNotNull(variable);
        System.out.println(variable + " is not null");
    }
}

• TestService and TestComponent is each described below.

// TestService

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class TestService {

    private final TestComponent testComponent;

    public String getEnvironmentVariableFromAutowiredComponent() {
        return testComponent.getEnvironmentVariable();
    }
}

// TestComponent

@Component
@Getter
public class TestComponent {

    @Value("${test.environment.variable}")
    private String environmentVariable;
}

I set the environment variable using the way on the screenshot below.

As test result, I am getting the error below.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'testComponent': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'TEST_ENV' in value "${TEST_ENV}"

I asked JetBrains help center to resolve this issue, and the only answer I got is that this doesn't happen on their computer. I've checked that this test code works on windows and Linux. Also, I have tried to clean-reinstall IntelliJ several times on this machine (Apple Silicon Macbook Pro).

Answer 1

I had a very similar problem. Unfortunately in my case, the solution was to use JDK via Rosetta 2 or upgrade Gradle to version 7.x.x.

Answer 2

Open the Gradle settings:

Change Build and run using and Run and test using to Intellij Idea.
