For those folks using Spring Boot 2.0+, you can use the following to setup a task that will run the app with a given set of profiles.

task bootRunDev(type: org.springframework.boot.gradle.tasks.run.BootRun, dependsOn: 'build') {
    group = 'Application'

    doFirst() {
        main = bootJar.mainClassName
        classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath

    }

Then you can simply run ./gradlew bootRunDev or similar from your IDE.
