systemProperties approach works only in bootRun

[xanscale]

in profiles.gradle your first approach works only for bootRun task and not for build task.
any way to do for build ?

the second approach works but is a little deprecated

classes {
    doLast {
        def profile = 'spring.profiles.active=' + project.property('env')
        println 'Adding ' + profile
        new File("build/resources/main/application.properties").append('\n' + profile)
    }
}

PS i spend 2 days to do this. my first approach is to use sourcesets and put application.properties there. but i discover that gradle java plugin make jar only for main source set. why?

Some of the comments on the original blog may help with making a JAR: https://www.credera.com/blog/technology-insights/java/gradle-profiles-for-multi-project-spring-boot-applications/

Any way to get the spring.profiles.active property passed to the application when it's running should work for ensuring Spring executes with that profile in mind. If you haven't seen the blog linked above this project was made for, it may help there too.
