Gradle task to pick webdriver.base.url from serenity.conf based on env values provided in cmdline

[suadhika]

I have **serenity.conf ** like below

environments {
    staging {
        webdriver.remote.url = "XXXX"
        webdriver.base.url = "XXXX"
        }
    prod {
        webdriver.remote.url = "YYYY"
        webdriver.base.url = "YYYY"
        }

I have a gradle task like blow

task reRun() {

    dependsOn compileJava, testClasses
    doLast {
        javaexec {
            main = "net.serenitybdd.cucumber.cli.Main"
            classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
            args = [
                    '--plugin', 'pretty',
                    '@target/failedrerun.txt',
                    '--glue', 'ABCB']

        }
    }
}

This task is to rerun the failed test cases. Since I cannot run the cucumber runner classes in order and most of the time the rerun runner class run before the actual runner, i thought of running the rerun as a separate task in gradle after the test.

So I run the gradle command like below:
gradle --info clean test reRun aggregate -Denvironment='staging' -Dtags='envr:staging'
OR
gradle --info clean test reRun aggregate -Denvironment='prod' -Dtags='envr:prod'

@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)

@CucumberOptions(features= "src/test/resources/features/ui/", glue = "com.a.b.c.features", plugin = {"pretty","rerun:target/failedrerun.txt"}, monochrome = true, tags = "@envr=staging and @UI")

public class CucumberSerenityBDDUIAutoRunner {
    @WithTag("envr:stagging")
    public void run_stagging_tests(){}

    @WithTag("envr:prod")
    public void run_production_tests(){}
}

The above runner runs fine as test task and parse staging/prod values from serenity.conf file but the reRun task could not do the same and the url is always empty when the test runs.

Please let me know how can I work around this issue.
