[gradle-user] unable to pass system property to test

[Kallin Nagelberg]

Hey,

I've tried all manner of wizardry to pass a system property to my tests, but
no dice. I've tried things like

test.allJvmArgs = (test.allJvmArgs <<
['-XX:MaxPermSize=512M','-Ddb.username=bakala']).flatten()

and

test {
    systemProperties['db.username'] = 'bakala'
    jvmArgs '-Ddb.username=bakala'
}

and

gradle -i myTest -Ddb.username=bakala

In my test I have

System.out.println(System.getProperty("db.username"));

and it always comes out as null.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks,
