How to pass multiple parameters in command line when running gradle task?
build.gradle, gradle, java
Solution
JavaExec may be the way to go. Just declare a task and pass project parameters to java app:
task myExecTask(type: JavaExec) {
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
main = 'com.project.MyApplicationMainClass'
args project.getProperty('userName') + ' ' + project.getProperty('password');
}
To run it, simply write `gradle myExecTask -PuserName=john -Ppassword=secret`
Problem
I've got a java and groovy classes that are being run by gradle task. I have managed to make it work but I do not like the way I have to pass the parameters in command line. Here is how I do it currently via command line: `gradle runTask -Pmode"['doStuff','username','password']"` my build.gradle code which takes these parameters looks like this: ``` if (project.hasProperty("mode")) { args Eval.me(mode)} ``` and then I use my arguments/parameters in my java code as follows: ``` String action = args[0]; //"doStuff" String name = args[1]; .. //"username" ``` I was wondering is there a way to pass the parameters in a better way such as: ``` gradle runTask -Pmode=doStuff -Puser=username -Ppass=password ``` and how to use them in my java classes.
