Unable to override not initialized Boolean property with false value

[szpak]

A try to override not initialized Boolean property like below:

class MyExtension {
    Boolean myBoolean
}

with false value

-Doverride.example.myBoolean=false

ends with true value assigned.

After some debugging the problem is in DotNotationWalkerOverrideStrategy. determineProperty() for not initialized field property it returns null and clazz is set to NullObject. parent.setProperty doesn't know that is a Boolean field and set false as String and for Groovy is true.

It would be required to get a type of not initialized property in Groovy object, but I don't know if Groovy offers that information.

In a few minutes I will make a pull request with test reproducing that case.

Too late :(. I created at against master as I thought it is the main branch now.

Nevertheless if you prefer I can create another PR.

[bmuschko]

Yes, can you please close the pull request and reopen. Thanks!

I rebased my branch. The old PR should be already against gradle-1.12.

I created a new PR.
