Description

Karma silently reads the IP address to connect from then environment variable named IP.

It should not rely on such a generic name, and output something in the console saying that the hostname has been overriden by an environment variable.

Is there an interest in submitting a PR for that ?

Anyhow, thanks for this wonderful project :-)

Research direction

No file or test is named. Locate the code that reads the IP environment variable and the related hostname or console behavior, then inspect nearby tests before deciding how to handle the generic variable name and notification. Done means the behavior is no longer silent and is covered by an appropriate test.
