Gradle will not read gradle.properties. I guess I might have screwed up some install by running it as sudo.
I execute ./gradlew createDb --stacktrace --debug

GRADLE_HOME=/home/bmackey/.sdkman/candidates/gradle/current
GRADLE_USER_HOME=/home/bmackey
There is a gradle.properties in the project home directory with:
some_username=Defined_in_~/.gradle/gradle.properties
some_password=Defined_in_~/.gradle/gradle.properties
This should be (and is on my Mac) overridden by
#/home/bmackey/.gradle/gradle.properties
some_username=me
some_password=password
This same project ran fine on Mac OSX.
