We run our micronaut integration tests in the cloud in a docker container
We’re setting the MICRONAUT_ENVIRONMENTS=staging in the docker environment variables, to force our application to read the config values from application-staging.yaml.
However, micronaut is automatically adding “test” as an environment, and then read the config values from application-test.yaml.
From the docs (https://docs.micronaut.io/2.2.1/guide/index.html#propertySource), environment variables should have priority compared to deduced environments when loading the config
Is there any reason why micronaut is giving priority to the application-test.yaml values here?

Answer
The test environment is added when micronaut tests are running, even when setting up the environment variable MICRONAUT_ENVIRONMENTS
After a bit of digging, it seems the “test” environment is added before the DefaultEnvironment class is initialized, hence it’s added even if micronaut.env.deduction is set to false
