Question

I have gradle.properties file for which I am passing value from command line as below command but not taking the value.
gradle test -DsystemProp.RunnerApplication=QAEnv -Dgroups=CSP-Smoke
My build.gradle file code as follows-

systemProp.RunnerApplication=dev is the key and value saved in my gradle.properties.
Here I want to run as RunnerApplication=QAEnv so automation can run in different environments
But its is always running on dev even Passing QAEnv in command line.
I would really appreciate your help.

Answer 1

You are passing in two system properties. One is prefixed with systemProp. and the other isn't. This should indicate to you that one of them is wrong. And it's the former :)
There is a use for the systemProp. prefix, but only when declaring system properties through the gradle.properties file. Here, you are declaring them from the command line.
So instead of:
gradle test -DsystemProp.RunnerApplication=QAEnv -Dgroups=CSP-Smoke
Run:
gradle test -DRunnerApplication=QAEnv -Dgroups=CSP-Smoke
