How do I use Gradle bootRun with --args in Intellij

Question

Gradle 4.9 introduced the --args parameter to bootRun, which I can use easily from the command-line, but how do I use this from a Run/Debug configuration in Intellij 2018?

With a Gradle build set to run the bootRun task on my project in Intellij, I've tried the following arguments in the Run/Debug Configurations screen without any success:

• --args 'foo'
• --args='foo'
• --args=foo

Output from Intellij:

9:18:56 AM: Executing task 'bootRun --args='foo''...

Unknown command-line option '--args'.
9:18:57 AM: Task execution finished 'bootRun --args='foo''.

A similar question documents the older syntax for doing this.

Answer 1

Maybe you can add your args to Tasks as bootRun --args='foo' in IDEA's Run/Debug Configurations.

My task is run --args='-h' and it works for me
