Setting environment variables from Gradle

Question

I need to execute from Gradle an Ant script which relies on environment variables. Ant uses <property environment="env"/> for it.

I tried to do env.foo="bar" in Gradle, but it throws a Groovy exception.

What is the proper way to pass environment variables from Gradle to Ant?

Answer 1

From the gradle 2.0 docs, i see something like this is possible

test {
  environment "LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "lib"
}

Or in this case could use this

systemProperty "java.library.path", "lib"
