What if the passed value is neither '1' nor a proper path to the test data?

then the test data directory will not be found, and the tests will fall back to the 'no data' approach of skipping

Other than the single comment above I think this is a useful side-step for missing test data in an environment that Iris is deployed to 👍 |

@marqh We may want to be a wee bit more general here, see how the iris.tests.runner._runner.finalize_options sets this environment variable.
How about:
if os.path.isdir(override):
TEST_DATA_DIR = override
else:
TEST_DATA_DIR = NoneAlso, I think it's pretty bad style to have lower case environment variables ... now might be an opportunity to change that (if you care) since we're in this space ... 😉

@dkillick @marqh I think that we need to fix this given the comment above. The finalize_options sets the override_test_data_repository = 'true' which means the above merged code won't behave as intended ...
