Setting configuration properties to access in REPL - scala

Question

Given:
src/test/scala/net/Main.scala
package net
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory
object Main extends App {
override def main(args: Array[String]) {
val bar = ConfigFactory.load().getString("app.bar")
val bippy = ConfigFactory.load().getString("app.bippy")
println(s"bar: $bar | bippy : $bippy")
}
}
src/test/resources/application.conf
app {
bar = ${?BAR}
bippy = ${?BIPPY}
}
I attempted to set the BAR and BIPPY environment variables in sbt:
>set envVars := Map("BAR" -> "bar!", "BIPPY" -> "bippy!")
Then, I opened the REPL in test mode:
>test:console
scala> import net.Main
import net.Main
scala> Main.main(Array())
com.typesafe.config.ConfigException$Missing: No configuration setting
found for key 'app.bar'
How can I set these properties for the REPL?

Pass your configuration file using the -Dconfig.file system property
[localhost]$ sbt -Dconfig.file=src/test/resources/application.conf
[info] Loading global plugins from ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins
[info] Loading project definition from ~/my/project
[info] Set current project to my-project (in build file:~/my/project/)
