Error description

• If you set an environment variable in Jenkins, it is not seen by
  a subsequent Run Integration Tester Tests task.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Create a Jenkins build task to inject a variable, for example
  using the Jenkins Environment Injector Plugin
  
  2. Configure a RIT test with an environment tag matching the
  variable name; add a Log action to display the value.
  
  3. Add a Run Integration Tester Tests task to run a test to use
  this variable as an environment tag.
     Configure it with Advanced setting Environment tags = env to
  use environment variables.
  
  4. Run the Jenkins build
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  The test prints the new environment value.
  
  ACTUAL RESULTS:
  
  The default environment tag value is used.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  Add a Windows BAT or Shell task to use RunTests
