Setting system properties when using junitPlatform

Question

I could not find out how to set system properties when executing JUnit 5 tests using Gradle. The standard test task could be configured as follows:

test {
     systemProperty 'org.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel', 'warn'
}

However, the junitPlatform task seem to not have such an option.

Answer 1

Update:

Please note that the junit-platform-gradle-plugin developed by the JUnit Team was deprecated in JUnit Platform 1.2 and discontinued in 1.3. Please switch to Gradle’s standard test task in Gradle 4.6 or higher. Details here.

As I mentioned here, if you are still using the obsolete junit-platform-gradle-plugin you can set system properties like this:

afterEvaluate {
    def junitPlatformTestTask = tasks.getByName('junitPlatformTest')

    junitPlatformTestTask.systemProperty 'org.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel', 'warn'
}
