Play 2 passing system properties to test cases

Question

When executing \'play test\', is there a way to pass in system properties to be used at test cases?

String testDB = System.getProperties().getProperty(\"testDB\         


        

Answer 1

1.2.4

Try play run -DtestDB=localdb --%test

I found that at the bottom of http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2.4/ids where it states that play test is equivalent to play run --%test.

2.0

Try play -DtestDB=localdb test

The system property needs to be before the command.
