Gradle: Load property file dependent on profile

Question

I want to write a gradle build script, which works in different environments (development, live). In each environment I have to load different property sets (target directories,

Answer 1

I had the same problem, but I use spring and configured it to read properties from classpath:application.properties

In this case you can add this to gradle.build with java plugin

if (project.hasProperty('env')) {
    println "Target environment: $env"
    sourceSets.main.resources.srcDir "src/main/environment/$env"
}

this for different folders based on environment

So for adding resources based on environment 'dev' you should have 'src/main/environment/dev' folder (with properties file), and invoke gradle: gradle myTask -Penv=dev
