How to give System property to my test via Gradle

问题:

I have a a Java program which reads a System property

System.getProperty("cassandra.ip");

and I have a Gradle build file that I start with

gradle test -Pcassandra.ip=192.168.33.13

or

gradle test -Dcassandra.ip=192.168.33.13

however System.getProperty will always return null.

The only way I found was to add that in my Gradle build file via

test {
    systemProperty "cassandra.ip", "192.168.33.13"
}

How Do I do it via -D

回答1:

The -P flag is for gradle properties, and the -D flag is for JVM properties. Because the test may be forked in a new JVM, the -D argument passed to gradle will not be propagated to the test - it sounds like that is the behavior you are seeing.

You can use the systemProperty in your test block as you have done but base it on the incoming gradle property by passing it with it -P:

test {
    systemProperty "cassandra.ip", project.getProperty("cassandra.ip")
}

or alternatively, if you are passing it in via -D

test {
    systemProperty "cassandra.ip", System.getProperty("cassandra.ip")
}

Came across this very much problem, except i don't want to list all properties given on the commandline in the gradle script again. Therefore i send all system properties to my test

task integrationTest(type: Test) {
    useTestNG()
    options {
        systemProperties(System.getProperties())
    }
}

I had a case where I needed to pass multiple system properties into the test JVM but not all (didn't want to pass in irrelevant ones). Based on the above answers, and by using subMap to filter the ones I needed, this worked for me:

task integrationTest(type: Test) {
    // ... Do stuff here ...
    systemProperties System.getProperties().subMap(['PROP1', 'PROP2'])
}

In this example, only PROP1 and PROP2 will be passed in, if they exist in gradle's JVM.

Here's a variant that passes numerous project properties to the test JVM as system properties. I prefer project properties over system properties to increase flexibility.

task intTest(type: Test) {
    systemProperties project.properties.subMap(["foo", "bar"])
}

Which may be passed on the command-line:

 $ gradle intTest -Pfoo=1 -Pbar=2

And retrieved in your test:

String foo = System.getProperty("foo");
