Load environment variable from script in PyCharm

Question

I have a script which executes python unit tests. What this script does is firstly prepare the PYTHONPATH variable and then executes the python unit tests.

I now want to run my python tests in PyCharm, however I want to reuse the script which builds the environment variables. Is there a way to specify a script to prepare the env variables in run/debug configuration in PyCharm?

I dont know how to set python path using a script in PyCharm, but I think you may get some ideas from this from: stackoverflow.com/questions/17198319/… — Guoliang

Doesn't "Edit Configurations" --> "Environment Variables" or "Before launch" cover your case? — mkaran

in "Environment Variables" you'd have to specify each variable separately, that is you can not use a script. "Before launch" is running the tasks in separate process — Vasil Daskalov

Pretty old question. Has no one got an answer yet? I'm wondering this too... — Hendrik Wiese

You can use env-vars-in-path-vars plugin for IntelliJ IDEA family:

An IntelliJ IDEA plugin to automatically add environment variables to Path Variables.

For example, you can have a file myproject.env with next content:

SOME_VAR=SOME_VALUE

You can use this file from both your script and IDE, using the plugin and changing your environment variables would be reflected in both.
