How to set environment vars in IntelliJ for Gradle tasks

Question

the easiest way to pass spring profiles to gradle bootRun is (for me) by environment variable (e.g. SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE), when run on commandline.

Answer 1

Make the System.properties available in the bootRun (or other) tasks.

bootRun.systemProperties = System.properties

This way we can set in IntelliJ VM Options like -Dspring.profiles.active=dev.
