search_dirs override when running tests

[NasAmin]

Hi,

We have a transform that uses some lua code. We are mounting this code to the vector pods using the helm chart successfully.
However when we are running tests locally that involves loading lua libraries, the tests fail to find the lua libs.

If I additionally add the local lua config directory to the search_dirs of the the transform then the tests pass and the lua libs are loaded successfully.

Is there a way to override/mock the search_dirs when running tests?

Kind regards,

Nas

HI @NasAmin !

One way you could do it is by providing the search_dirs via an environment variable like:

[transforms.lua]
type = "lua"
seach_dirs = [${SEARCH_DIRS}]

That you could set to SEARCH_DIRS to a different value when running them as tests.
