How to pass system property to Gradle task

Question

I\'m using Gradle spring-boot plugin and I need to select a spring active profile for the test run.

How do I pass spring.profiles.active sy

Answer 1

According to the spring-boot-gradle-plugin documentation you should be able to pass arguments like this

./gradlew bootRun --args='--spring.profiles.active=dev'

Seems like this is a new gradle feature since 4.9. I used it in my project and it worked out of the box.
