Gradle test Unit tests - Run all except one or few - Command line

I have bunch of JUnit unit tests in my projects. Build system is Gradle. OS: Windows/Linux.

Test (Unit tests) come free in Gradle i.e. if you run "gradle clean build" Gradle will also run "test" task (to run your Unit tests). I know how can I run all tests in a test folder, of a specific test at command line. Ex: See 23.13.3 and 23.13.4 sections in Gradle user guide: http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/java_plugin.html#sec:java_test

My question:

I want to run all tests except one or some. How can I do this in Gradle at command line (rather than using exclude(s) within test { ... } section in build.gradle or higher level .gradle file).

If you want to exclude more than one test per command line, here an enhanced version of Mark's answer (testet in gradle 6.8.2):

    if (project.hasProperty('excludeTests')) {
        project.properties['excludeTests']?.replaceAll('\\s', '')?.split('[,;]').each {
           exclude "${it}"
        }
    }

On the command line you can now specify more than one test for exclusion:

$ gradlew test -PexcludeTests="**/bar*, **/foo.SomeTest*"

The separator may be ";" or ",", with or without following space.

You could conditionally add an exclusion based on a property value.

test {
    if (project.hasProperty('excludeTests')) {
        exclude project.property('excludeTests')
    }
}

You could then do something like this from the command line.

$ gradle -PexcludeTests=org.foo.MyTest build
