Is there a way to just pass all environment variables to a test? https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-test-goal#setting-environment-variables Aside the fact that it seems not recommended
As far as I understand I would need to set the envs globally in 
pants.toml
with 
extra_env_vars
under 
[test]
. These will be passed to all tests in the monorepo. If I define 
extra_env_vars
in a specfic 
python_tests
target, they will be merged. Can I achieve the following? Pass a specific set on envs to a specific app in the monorepo, e.g. 
serviceA
and then for individual tests add some envs to the generally defined ones for the app.

Hmm. When you say "pass to an app", do you mean when running the app with 
./pants run
? Or when running "the app's tests" (however we define those)?
That's an interesting one
t
As far as I can tell all envs will be pass to 
./pants run
anyway. I mean 
./pants test serviceA::
. Let us assume all tests need the envs 
DB_HOST
and 
DB_PORT
, but a specific test also needs the env 
BUCKET_NAME
. Can this be addressed somehow?
h
As you suggested, if you put `DB_HOST`/`DB_PORT` in 
extra_env_vars
they will go to all tests, and adding 
BUCKET_NAME
to 
extra_env_vars
on a specific test target will add it for the tests on that target.
If you want to add for a specific test file within that target, you can use 
overrides
One sec let me dig up an example
Copy code
python_tests(
    name="serviceA_tests",
    overrides={
        "specific_test.py": {
            "extra_env_vars": ["BUCKET_NAME"]
        }
    },
)
But this still has you adding `DB_HOST`/`DB_PORT` to every test in the repo, which it sounds like is not what you want?
To do this in a more fine-grained way, you can do:
Copy code
python_tests(
    name="serviceA_tests",
    extra_env_vars=["DB_HOST", "DB_PORT"],
    overrides={
        "specific_test.py": {
            "extra_env_vars": ["DB_HOST", "DB_PORT","BUCKET_NAME"]
        }
    },
)
If you have multiple test targets under serviceA you could probably streamline this with a macro
t
Yeah 
overrides
does not seem to address the issue. I was trying the new 
__defaults__
feature, but there is no way to add an env to a specific test while keeping all default values. Or am I missing something there?
h
There is not AFAIK, you'd have to repeat the default vars in the 
overrides
As per my example above
But possibly a macro can streamline this
