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

Starting from SpringBoot 2.0.0-M5 setSystemProperties() is no longer a method of the task bootRun. The build.gradle needs to be updated to

bootRun {
    execSpec {
        // System.properties["spring.profiles.active"]
       systemProperties System.properties
    }
}

This is as springBoot's run task uses org.gradle.process.JavaExecSpec

This works for me using Gradle 4.2
