How do I use a user environment variable in gradle.properites

Question

In a gradle task I can create a path like this:

System.env.FOLDER_PATH + '/subFolder'

but I would like to set this in my gradle.properties instead, so it would be something like

subFolderPath=${System.env.FOLDER_PATH}/subFolder

but I can't find any examples of this, is it even possible?

Answer 1

gradle.properties is a plain Java properties file. It can only contain literal key/value pairs.
