gradle arguments are not visible within runOsgi block / configSettings = 'equinox' is overwritten

[paulvi]

While trying https://github.com/renatoathaydes/osgi-run/issues/37#issuecomment-208057926

all

gradle -Dequinox=true runOsgi 
gradle -Dequinox runOsgi 
gradle -Pequinox runOsgi 
gradle runOsgi -Pequinox

did not work

if (hasProperty('equinox')) {
    println 'equinox'
}

runOsgi {
    // https://github.com/renatoathaydes/osgi-run/issues/37 
    // run any with
    // gradle -Dequinox=true runOsgi
    if (hasProperty('equinox')) {
        configSettings = 'equinox'
        osgiMain = 'org.eclipse.osgi:org.eclipse.osgi:3.7.1'
        javaArgs = '-DmyProp=someValue'
        programArgs = '-console'
        config += [ 'osgi.clean': true ]      // add properties to the Equinox config
    } else {  // use felix, which is already the default
        // maybe specify which felix version to use here...    
    }

    bundles += subprojects
    config += [ 'org.osgi.framework.storage.clean': 'onFirstInit' ]
}

It always launches Felix

The problem is likely different, as for 1.4.3, 1.4.2, 1.4.0 felix is used always (even when 'org.eclipse.osgi:org.eclipse.osgi:3.7.1' is downloaded )

runOsgi {
    configSettings = 'equinox'
        osgiMain = 'org.eclipse.osgi:org.eclipse.osgi:3.7.1'
        // https://bintray.com/search?query=org.eclipse.osgi
        //osgiMain = 'org.eclipse.tycho:org.eclipse.osgi:3.10.101.v20'
        javaArgs = '-DmyProp=someValue'
        programArgs = '-console'
        config += [ 'osgi.clean': true ]      // add properties to the Equinox config

Hi..

The syntax is gradlew runOsgi -Pequinox.

See this project: https://github.com/renatoathaydes/osgi-run/tree/master/osgi-run-test/ipojo-dosgi

It uses -Pclient to launch a client (and launches the server in case client is not set). See the build file: https://github.com/renatoathaydes/osgi-run/blob/master/osgi-run-test/ipojo-dosgi/build.gradle#L26

This is not a bug, it's just a side-effect of my latest changes to this demo project (build-with-subprojects), whereas I applied osgi-run to all sub-projects. When you run gradle runOsgi from the top-level directory, it will run each project, in turn, starting from the top-level one, then each subproject... As you only made the top-level project run with Equinox, the others run with the default, Felix, as expected.

@paulvi See the README I created explaining how to do this correctly.
