Pipe into "gradle run"

Question

I want to do something along the lines of this:

echo "foobar" | ./gradlew run

I understand that the run task calls JavaExec which takes a standardInput argument. But wasn't able to use it via the commandline.

Is it possible pass my piped input stream to the application?

In the run task, set standardInput to be System.in

run {
  standardInput = System.in
}

Thanks. Now that I know the answer I found that my question is a duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45747112/kotlin-and-gradle-reading-from-stdio which I couldn't find before, since I searched with different keywords. – fahrradflucht Dec 22 '19 at 18:40
