Based on @tpasternak analysis this is expected to be due to #5885. @blorente can you please take a look?

Ok, I'm pretty sure I know what happened

1. Here's the description of the difference between CONSOLE and SYSTEM
   https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/9838665ba816fc8ce06e4071aa5a906a35fbb22e/platform/platform-util-io/src/com/intellij/execution/configurations/GeneralCommandLine.java#L71-L79

2. The default value is console
   https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/9838665ba816fc8ce06e4071aa5a906a35fbb22e/platform/platform-util-io/src/com/intellij/execution/configurations/GeneralCommandLine.java#L85C1-L86C1

3. We set it to either SYSTEM or NONE, never back to CONSOLE

So it seems like for some users the plugin is unusable now - all the tests fail

[blorente]

I'll take a look first time tomorrow.

@blorente thanks, I think I've found the root cause but I'm not sure if this matches the overall idea

[blorente]

Hello! I'm trying to repro this issue to add some automated tests, but I'm not seeing any difference between CONSOLE and SYSTEM.
I have the following setup:

• BUILD .bazel

sh_binary(
    name = "test_env_vars_bin",
    srcs = ["test_env_vars.sh"],
)

• test_env_vars.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

echo "USER: $USER"
echo "PATH: $PATH"
echo "HOME: $HOME"
echo "GOROOT: $GOROOT"

And both SYSTEM and CONSOLE print the same thing as running the script with a "Run Shell" run configuration.
Could you give an example of an env var that you'd expect to be there that is not?
