> As I said above, I'm not wild about WEBKIT_TESTS_, either. Do you really need to be able to update arbitrary environment variables? Is there a reason you don't just add the variables you care about to the whitelist, either in base.py or override setup_environ_for_server in gtk.py if only gtk cares about GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH (which seems likely)?

Because the problem happens only in my setup and I need to workaround it, but it is not a general problem. If it were I would have whitelisted the variable.

Phil thought that there must be a better solution that would be adding an extra parameter when running the test runner, for example --extra-env="...=..." and I also think that that's a better solution, so I will go for this and resubmit the patch when ready, if you like the approach.
