Determining the Gradle test execution order

Question

I was wondering whether it's possible to obtain information about test execution order somehow.

I have a project in Maven and all the tests are passing. After I migrated the project to Gradle, one of the tests started failing. The test itself is working: when I execute gradle test -Dtest.single=..., it passes. However, when I run the tests for the whole project, the test fails.

It's possible that some tests that run before the failing test do not release resources correctly and therefore the test fails. But I need to somehow find out which tests are causing this problem.

Answer 1

Tell Gradle to log more events about test processing. There is a documentation how to do that http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.logging.TestLoggingContainer.html

Answer 2

The beforeTest method can be used to output details about each test before it is run, based on a TestDescriptor for each test:

test {
    beforeTest { testDescriptor ->
        println "${testDescriptor.className} > ${testDescriptor.name} STARTED"
    }
}
