Is it possible to pass custom program arguments to default nodeDevelopmentRun task?

[tapchicoma]

could you tell the type of this task via ./gradlew help --task nodeDevelopmentRun ?

[Alexander.Likhachev]

Probably you are interested in something like this?

tasks.named<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.targets.js.nodejs.NodeJsExec>("nodeDevelopmentRun") {
    nodeArgs = mutableListOf("--my-brand-new-argument")
}

I needed to pass parameter specific to my local test environment, so I ended up with this:

val config: String? by project
if (config != null) {
    println(".config: $config")
    tasks.withType(NodeJsExec::class).all {
        println("config: $config")
        args("--config", config)
    }
}

As Alexander mentioned, task type is org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.targets.js.nodejs.NodeJsExec and nowhere in this type hierarchy I could find any @Option , nor in indication in docs that would imply that passing args as command line argument is anyhow supported.
