passing runtime arguments to erlang when running rebar eunit

erlang, eunit, rebar

Solution

I answered my own question. I use the ERL_FLAGS variable to pass command line args. Here is a snippet from my Makefile:

ERL_FLAGS="-args_file test/conf/vm.eunit.args" ./rebar skip_deps=true eunit

Problem

In my startup script, I am starting erlang with: ``` erl -args_file vm.args ``` Currently, while trying to run unit tests with `rebar eunit` is there a way for me to pass custom runtime arguments such as the -args_file option to the erlang process that rebar kicks off? I have searched docs high and low to no avail... I appreciate the help.
