Gradle compiles but does not run TestNG tests

We just started using Gradle and TestNG on our project, so I am checking whether failing any test actually fails the build. I was quite surprised to see it does not. The tests are picked up and compiled correctly, so I see the class files. Also I do get a report of the run, but it says 0 tests (expected 2). Running gradle clean test -i gives me the following:

:contentplatform-service:compileTestJava (Thread[Daemon worker Thread 7,5,main])

SuperSimpleTest.java:

package nl.xillio.contentplatform.service;

import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

@Test
public class SuperSimpleTest {

    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp() {
        // code that will be invoked when this test is instantiated
    }

    @Test
    public void testTest() {
        Assert.assertEquals(true, true);
    }
}

build.gradle contains:

test {
    // enable TestNG support (default is JUnit)
    useTestNG()
    scanForTestClasses = false  
    include '**/*'

    testLogging {
        showStandardStreams = true

        // log results to "build/test-results" directory
        exceptionFormat "full"
        events "started", "passed", "skipped", "failed", "standardOut", "standardError"
    }
}

I already took a look at other questions about this topic, and there I found the hint to use scanForTestClasses = false as a workaround (see https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-1682). However, this problem seems unrelated. Am I making some other noob mistake here? How can I get SuperSimpleTest to just execute?

UPDATE: I tried forcing gradle to run a specific test with an interesting error as a result: Gradle complains about JUnit version on TestNG task

People also ask

Does Gradle build also run tests?

By default, Gradle will run all tests that it detects, which it does by inspecting the compiled test classes. This detection uses different criteria depending on the test framework used. For JUnit, Gradle scans for both JUnit 3 and 4 test classes.

Does Gradle run tests in parallel by default?

Parallel execution Yet Gradle will only run one task at a time by default, regardless of the project structure (this will be improved soon). By using the --parallel switch, you can force Gradle to execute tasks in parallel as long as those tasks are in different projects.

How do I run Gradle without a test?

To skip any task from the Gradle build, we can use the -x or –exclude-task option. In this case, we'll use “-x test” to skip tests from the build. As a result, the test sources aren't compiled, and therefore, aren't executed.

It was a stupid noob mistake indeed. We are using a multi-project setup with a master project and several folders on the same level, which contain the code and the tests. The build.gradle I was using accidentally only configured the master project to use TestNG. The solution is to include the test target within the allprojects or subprojects closure. Which is explained here: What is the difference between allprojects and subprojects

So here is the working build.gradle:

def mainClassName = 'nl.xillio.contentplatform.view.Run'


// Load settings for all projects including master and subprojects
allprojects {
    apply plugin: 'java'
    apply plugin: 'eclipse'

    version '0.1'

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url 'http://mvnrepository.com/maven2'
        }
        maven {
            url 'http://download.java.net/maven/2'
        }
    }
}

// Load the dependencies for all subprojects (layers)
subprojects {
    dependencies {
    //to do: move these to the correct subprojects
        compile 'javax.inject:javax.inject:1'
        compile 'org.springframework:spring-context:4.1.4.RELEASE'
        compile 'org.springframework:spring-core:4.1.4.RELEASE'
        compile 'org.springframework:spring-beans:4.1.4.RELEASE'
        compile 'commons-logging:commons-logging:1.2'
        testCompile 'org.springframework:spring-test:4.1.4.RELEASE'
        testCompile 'org.testng:testng:6.1.1'
    }

    test {
        // enable TestNG support (default is JUnit)
        useTestNG() 
    }
}

// Resolve the dependencies between the layers in the individual project's build.gradle files
// add ONLY specific per project behaviour of the GLOBAL build here:

project(':contentplatform-web') {
}

project(':contentplatform-service') {
}

project(':contentplatform-dao') {
}

// Return a list of all the external libraries
def getLibraries() {
    return configurations.runtime.filter{!it.name.startsWith('contentplatform')}
}

// Copy all the libraries to a libs folder
task copyLibraries(type: Copy) {
    group 'Content Platform'
    description 'Copy all the external libraries to the /libs folder.'

    destinationDir file('./build/')

    into('libs/') {
        from getLibraries()
    }
}

// Perform the build task before building the big jar
jar {
    group 'Content Platform'
    description 'Package all the layers and dependencies into a big jar.'

    // The libraries are required to build
    dependsOn(copyLibraries)

    // The final big jar needs all the layers
    dependencies {
        compile project(':contentplatform-web'), project(':contentplatform-dao'),
            project(':contentplatform-service'), project(':contentplatform-model')
    }
    // Create a MANIFEST.MF file, the main class file is in the web layer
    manifest {
        attributes 'Implementation-Title': 'Content Platform',  
            'Implementation-Version': version,
            'Built-By': System.getProperty('user.name'),
            'Built-Date': new Date(),
            'Built-JDK': System.getProperty('java.version'),
            'Class-Path': getLibraries().collect{'../libs/' + it.getName()}.join(' '),
            'Main-Class': mainClassName
    }

    // Include the layers in the fat jar
    from(configurations.compile.filter{it.name.startsWith('contentplatform')}.collect{it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }) {
        exclude "META-INF/*.SF"
        exclude "META-INF/*.DSA"
        exclude "META-INF/*.RSA"
    }

    // Save the fat jar in the root of the folder instead of in build/libs
    destinationDir file('.')
}
