I am using libsecret in my code and my test failed with this error when running in CircleCI container.

Error: Address element ‘/dev/null’ does not contain a colon (🙂

The error was raised from Linux dbus API, and it does not happen when I run tests locally on my computer.  
I believe the issue was caused by:  
DBUS\_SESSION\_BUS\_ADDRESS: /dev/null is set by default.

What should I do in my circle.yml to prevent DBUS\_SESSION\_BUS\_ADDRESS being set to default?
