I have a go unit test that needs to have

LANG=

set in the environment to force the locale. There's a golang setting for this,

subprocess_env_vars

, but it doesn't appear to be used when running tests -- both based on what I see from a trace and the documentation:

Environment variables to set when invoking the

go

tool.

Tests aren't run via the

go

tool, they are compiled into a separate test runner which is then executed. I can set this environment variable within my test code but it would be handy if there was a similar kind of

test_vars

setting available in either

[golang]

or

[go-test]

-- or the behavior of the existing setting was changed to include using those vars when running tests.

Unfortunately, that subsystem is only ever used for Python today (I think we have an issue filed). What you suggest is something I think we also have an issue filed for (more of these, and scoped)
