I’m encountering an issue with environment variable access in my tests for a project using Vite as a build tool alongside a React app. In the React app, environment variables are accessed via import.meta.env, but in our tests, we rely on process.env and .env files using the dotenv package.

I’m seeing the following error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘ENV_VAR’)

Could anyone suggest how to resolve this issue and properly access ENV_VAR within both the React app and the test environment?
