In mule-app.properties specified MULE_HOME=C:/sfproject/test

Problem I am facing is it doesn't get the path ${MULE_HOME} location from mule-app.properties but it goes and creates a directory under home location of the project(MULE_HOME=C:/sfproject/) as ${MULE_HOME}/logs in my local directory. I want all log files should go under C:/sfproject/test/logs directory.

when I deploy same in server( commented mule_home path in mule-app.properties since it is not required and it should point to server location then logs directory), no log files are created under servers/logs directory.

EDIT:

Based on Ryan answer given below, to work locally in anypoint studio, right click on project->Run as->run configuration->ENVIRONMENT->New->Name(MULE_HOME)->Value(c:/project/test)->ok->apply->run.

Try using the env prefix to lookup an environment variable:

 ${env:MULE_HOME}
