Gradle task check if property is defined

问题:

I have a gradle task that executes a testng test suite. I want to be able to pass a flag to the task in order to use a special testng xml suite file (or just use the default suite if the flag isn't set).

gradle test

Should run the default standard suite of tests

gradle test -Pspecial

Should run the special suite of tests

I've been trying something like this:

test {
    if (special) {
        test(testng_special.xml);
    }
    else {
        test(testng_default.xml);
    }
}

But I get a undefined property error. What is the correct way to go about this?

回答1:

if (project.hasProperty('special'))

should do it.

Note that what you're doing to select a testng suite won't work, AFAIK: the test task doesn't have any test() method. Refer to https://discuss.gradle.org/t/how-to-run-acceptance-tests-with-testng-from-gradle/4107 for a working example:

test {
    useTestNG {
        suites 'src/main/resources/testng.xml'
    }
}

From Gradle Documentation:

-P, --project-prop

Sets a project property of the root project, for example -Pmyprop=myvalue

So you should use:

gradle test -Pspecial=true

with a value after the property name
