I can define environment variables for MsBuild and some other actions but not for MSTEST.
Would be nice to have it because depending on the branch that is currently building, we need a different database for our integration tests.

Which is gathered in the tests itself using “Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable” which we wanna set to the current branches name and use them as a suffix.

An oversight on our part, will add for next update. Any actions which execute a process should have the Environment Variables tab, I’ll make sure that’s the case.
