Bitbucket Pipeline Gradle : Could not get unknown property

[Bitwise DEVS]

I tried to pass some parameters using -P in Gradle task, I tried it locally in Android Studio terminal and it works. However doing this in BB Pipelines fails as it does not recognize other parameters.

This is how the gradle build looks like

 signingConfigs {
        debug {
            storeFile file(DEBUG_KEYSTORE_FILE)
            storePassword DEBUG_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
            keyAlias DEBUG_KEYSTORE_KEY_ALIAS
            keyPassword DEBUG_KEYSTORE_KEY_PASSWORD
        }
        release {
            storeFile file(APPNAME_KEYSTORE_FILE)
            storePassword APPNAME_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
            keyAlias APPNAME_KEYSTORE_KEY_ALIAS
            keyPassword APPNAME_KEYSTORE_KEY_PASSWORD
        }
    }

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            debuggable true
            minifyEnabled true
            shrinkResources true
            multiDexEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }
        release {
            debuggable false
            minifyEnabled true
            shrinkResources true
            multiDexEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }

The pipeline step with repository variable as the parameters value.

- step:
        name: Build & Deploy (Internal)
        caches: # caching speed up subsequent execution https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/cache-dependencies/
          - gradle
        script:
          # publish the aab file to the internal testing channel
          # the plugin publishes to the internal testing track by default
          - chmod +x gradlew
          - "./gradlew
                       -PANDROID_BUILD_COMPILED_SDK_VERSION=$ANDROID_BUILD_COMPILED_SDK_VERSION
                       -PANDROID_BUILD_MIN_SDK_VERSION=$ANDROID_BUILD_MIN_SDK_VERSION
                       -PANDROID_BUILD_TARGET_SDK_VERSION=$ANDROID_BUILD_TARGET_SDK_VERSION

                       -PDEBUG_KEYSTORE_FILE=../keys/$DEBUG_KEYSTORE_FILE
                       -PDEBUG_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=$DEBUG_PASSWORD
                       -PDEBUG_KEYSTORE_KEY_ALIAS=$DEBUG_KEY_ALIAS
                       -PDEBUG_KEYSTORE_KEY_PASSWORD=$DEBUG_KEY_PASSWORD

                       -PAPPNAME_KEYSTORE_FILE=../keys/$KEYSTORE_FILE
                       -PAPPNAME_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=$KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
                       -PAPPNAME_KEY_ALIAS=$KEYSTORE_KEY_ALIAS
                       -PAPPNAME_KEY_PASSWORD=$KEY_PASSWORD

                       -PGOOGLE_PLAY_API_KEY=../keys/$GOOGLE_PLAY_API_KEY

                       -PBUILD_NUMBER=$BITBUCKET_BUILD_NUMBER

                        clean :app:publishReleaseBundle"
        artifacts:
          - app/build/outputs/ # artifacts are files that are produced by a step https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/use-artifacts-in-steps/

Here, the pipelines fails reading `-PDEBUG_KEYSTORE_FILE` even '-PAPPNAME_KEYSTORE_FILE'

I do not know where the problem could come from since the Gradle task command works fine locally.

The problem was the spacing in gradlew command.
