Mathieu Lirzin commented on OFBIZ-9972:
---------------------------------------

Hello Taher,

As described in your second link, I would advocate adopting the standard 
[“Application” 
plugin|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/application_plugin.html] which 
in recent Gradle version provides a {{--args}} command line option to the 
{{:run}} task. The benefits would be a meaningful reduction of OFBiz specific 
code in the {{build.gradle}} which helps maintainability and a familiar 
interface for people already familiar with common Gradle idioms.

In any case, I have tried to upgrade {{OFBiz}} Gradle wrapper to 5.0 (as done 
in  [^OFBIZ-9972_Upgrade-to-Gradle-5.0.patch]) and everything seems to work 
perfectly even {{./gradlew "ofbiz --test"}}.

> In testing OFBiz with a new version of gradle, I identified a potential 
> problem. The rule based tasks such as "ofbiz --test" will not work in 
> versions 5 and above. The exact error message that I received is:
> The task name 'ofbiz --test' contains at least one of the following 
> characters: [ , /, \, :, <, >, ", ?, *, |]. This has been deprecated and is 
> scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0.
> In other words, spaces are not allowed. We need to find an alternative 
> solution.
