Jvm options in android when run gradlew test

I have a project that using Robolectric for unit test purpose. This project uses Robolectric 3.0 and need to add -ea and -noverify options in Virtual Machine options.

In Android Studio, I created new JUnit configuration in Run > Edit Configurations... and then set VM Options to -ea -noverify. With this way I success to run my unit test. This is image about my configure, view Here

However, for continuous deployment, I need run unit test with command line. So I use ./gradlew test to run unit test. I also add org.gradle.jvmargs=-ea -noverify to gradle.properties file. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I can run unit test but I got java.lang.VerifyError and I think that gradle.properties was not load.

So, my question is, how to make gradle.properties load or do you know any way to fix my vm options problem?

It is already answered but this may be an easier solution:

In your application modules' build.gradle file in android closure, add this.

android {
  ....

  testOptions {
    unitTests.all {
      jvmArgs '-noverify'
    }
  }
}
