Does gradle.properties have access to environment variables

I looked around and could not find any way of accessing environment variables in my gradle.properties.

What I can do: In my build.gradle I can access environment variables like this System.getenv("MY_VAR"). I would like to do the same in my gradle.properties.

Example of what I want to do: In my gradle.properties replace build.foo=bar with build.foo=System.getenv("BAR")

So far all my attempts to access environment variables from gradle.properties have failed.

Any insight into the matter would be great, thanks!

According this Gradle documentation documentation. Environment Variable that follows this name pattern "ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_foo=bar" will be added as a gradle property with the name "foo"

From https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html "... but if an option is configured in multiple locations, the first one wins:

system properties, e.g. when -Dgradle.user.home is set on the command line."

In Unix you could do like this: -Dgradle.user.home=$GRADLE_USER_HOME

Not all environment variables are visible to gradle. If you can name them with the special prefix ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_ these will be available. You can read about it here

ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_foo can be accessed as foo within gradle.

You can't. gradle.properties is not anything fancy, it is a standard properties file.

You would need to post-process the properties somehow as indicated in this. Currently, Gradle does not offer any such functionality to "custom load" gradle.properties.
