Question

I use this method to setup my parameterized data:

@Parameterized.Parameters
public static Collection<Object[]> getStories() {
        Collection<Object[]> allStories = new ArrayList<Object[]>()
        new File(SPEC_DIRECTORY).eachFileRecurse(FileType.FILES) { file ->
            if (file.getName().endsWith('.story')) {
                Object[] args = [file.getName(), file]
                allStories << args
            }
        }
        return allStories
    }

I invoke the main test with gradle via gradle test, but I do not seem to be able to see system properties.

If I use the invocation gradle -Dfile=test.story, then System.getProperty('file') is undefined. How can I pass arguments to this parameterized data builder?

Gradle runs all tests in a separate JVM. You have to configure the test task:

test {
    systemProperty "file", "test.story"
}

For more information, see the Gradle DSL reference.
