You are setting the environment variables in the shell using export directive however you are running the application from within IntelliJ IDEA.

If you use IntelliJ to start the application you should set the environment variable directly in the IntelliJ runtime configuration, as shown on picture below:

You could add your exports to .profile (or .bashrc) file but this would force you to restart IntelliJ each time this file is modified.
