can someone please help? Thanks

model {
    components {
        play {
           ....
           binaries.all {
               tasks.withType(PlayRun) {
                    forkOptions ="-Dproperties.home=conf -Dconfig.file=conf/play.conf"                
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

just tried on the put the following block on the top level

tasks.withType(PlayRun) {
    forkOptions ="-Dproperties.home=conf -Dconfig.file=conf/play.conf"
}

get the following

Exception thrown while executing model rule: copyToTaskContainer
Cannot set the value of read-only property ‘forkOptions’ on task ‘:runPlayBinary’.

Further investigation reveals from the source code that there is no setter for forkOptions. Did I miss something, or it is a bug? Thanks

I’d guess

forkOption.jvmArgs = ["-Dproperties.home=conf", "-Dconfig.file=conf/play.conf"]

Lance,
Thanks. It works like a charm. Kind of felt dumb to miss the obvious.
