How to get values from properties file using Groovy?
I require to have a property file (.properties) which would have file names as key, and their destination path as the value. I will need the key to be resolved at runtime, depending on file that needs to be moved.
So far I am able to load the properties it seems but can't "get" the value from the loaded properties.
I referred to the thread : groovy: How to access to properties file? and following is the code snippet i have so far
def props = new Properties();
File propFile =
new File('D:/XX/XX_Batch/XX_BATCH_COMMON/src/main/resources/patchFiles.properties')
props.load(propFile.newDataInputStream())
def config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(props)
def ant = new AntBuilder()
def list = ant.fileScanner {
fileset(dir:getSrcPath()) {
include(name:"**/*")
}
}
for (f in list) {
def key = f.name
println(props)
println(config[key])
println(config)
def destn = new File(config['a'])
}
the properties file has the following entries for now :
jan-feb-mar.jsp=/XX/Test/1
XX-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar=/XX/Test/1
a=b
c=d
Correct values are returned if I look up using either props.getProperty('a') or, config['a'] Also tried the code: notation
But as soon as switch to using the variable "key", as in config[key] it returns --> [:]
I am new to groovy, can't say what am i missing here.
It looks to me you complicate things too much.
Here's a simple example that should do the job:
For given test.properties
file:
a=1
b=2
This code runs fine:
Properties properties = new Properties()
File propertiesFile = new File('test.properties')
propertiesFile.withInputStream {
properties.load(it)
}
def runtimeString = 'a'
assert properties."$runtimeString" == '1'
assert properties.b == '2'
