Accessing CLI args and java system properties from a Grails script 2

Posted by mjwall on October 23, 2009

Quick post so I can remember how to access CLI args and Java system properties inside of a grails script.

Put this following code inside of your_grails_app/scripts/ScriptTest.groovy

target ( default : 'Print args and java system properties' ) {
    //grails script-test arg1 arg2
    println "Grails CLI args"
    println Ant.project.properties."grails.cli.args" 

    //grails -Dprop1anything script-test
    println "Java system properties of prop1"
    println Ant.project.properties.prop1
}

So now you can run the following

$grails -Dprop1=anything script-test arg1 arg2
