quarkus.args not work with gradle and quarkus 2.13.0

[deblockt]

Describe the bug

I try to write my own main like that:

@QuarkusMain
public class Main {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        System.out.println(args.length);
    }
}

And execute it using quarkus cli like that

quarkus dev --verbose -- param
or
quarkus dev --verbose -Dquarkus.args="param"

Expected behavior

The main is executed and display "1"

Actual behavior

The main is executed and display "0"

Additional information

In verbose mode I can see that parameter is set on quarkus.args but seem not used:

Thanks for reporting this @deblockt I will have a look into it.

[geoand]

@glefloch any idea what's going on?

[glefloch]

Yes I think we just don't forward system property from the gradle process to the quarkus dev process. It should be easy to fix

[jacobdotcosta]

I can take a look at this issue, it seems to be an affordable first issue for me after reading @glefloch comments.

[glefloch]

Yes you can, I gave it a try a week a go, but it wasn't as easy as I thought, I tried declaring gradle system properties to the quarkus process system properties but it had no effects :/

[jacobdotcosta]

It isn't the affordable first issue I was expecting 😃 as I've made several tests and it seems that no project context is reaching the QuarkusDev task. I'll keep investigating.

[jacobdotcosta]

Finally have it 🎉 !!! Will try creating a test case for this and prepare a PR.

[geoand]

Awesome, thanks!

I have a doubt regarding launching dev mode.

Launching with either ./gradlew quarkusDev -Dquarkus.args="param1=1 param2=2" or quarkus dev -Dquarkus.args="param1=1 param2=2" shows the same result in the main method which is an array of 2 parameters.

args: 2
[param1=1, param2=2]

Nevertheless launching dev mode using quarkus dev -- param1=1 param2=2 doesn't split the parameters into 2.

args: 1
[param1=1 param2=2]

The main code is the following:

    public static void main(String... args) {
        System.out.println("args: " + args.length);
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(args));
    }

Is passing arguments in the form quarkus dev -- param1=1 param2=2 different?

[geoand]

I think -- is a shell thing that allows you pass an entire string
