Re: [gradle-user] Gradle application plugin question

Hello Glen, sorry for the late reply. You can pass properties from the commandLine to your run task by using a bit groovy: You can dynamically add args to the run task: ---------------- run{     if(project.hasProperty("appProp")){         args appProp     } } ---------------- this checks if a property named "appProp" is defined. If true, it passes the property to the arg method of the run task. Now you can run your app via gradle from the commandline: ---------- gradle run -PappProp=test ---------- regards René Glen Stampoultzis 7.

For example something like: gradle run arg1 arg2 ... Regards, Glen Rene Groeschke 6. März 2012 09:09 Hello Glen, The run task is of type JavaExec. As you can see in the DSL Documentation of JavaExec ( http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.JavaExec.html#org.gradle.api.tasks.JavaExec:args ), you can pass parameters to the task using "args": run{     args '-i' } regards, René Glen Stampoultzis 6. März 2012 01:54 One of the tasks the gradle application plugin creates is called 'run'.  This works great but how do I pass command line arguments to the application it is running?  Gradle seems to want to interpret anything I pass on the command line.
