How to run JUnit tests with Gradle?

Currently I have the following build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDir 'src/model'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile files('libs/mnist-tools.jar', 'libs/gson-2.2.4.jar')
    runtime fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}    


This build.gradle file is for my repository here. All of my main files are in src/model/ and their respective tests are in test/model.

How do I add a JUnit 4 dependency correctly and then run those tests in the folders of tests/model?

Does Gradle use JUnit?

Gradle has a native support for JUnit 5, but this support isn't enabled by default. We can run our unit tests by using the command: gradle clean test.

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.

How do I add a junit 4 dependency correctly?

Assuming you're resolving against a standard Maven (or equivalent) repo:

dependencies {
    ...
    testCompile "junit:junit:4.11"  // Or whatever version
}

Run those tests in the folders of tests/model?

You define your test source set the same way:

sourceSets {
    ...

    test {
        java {
            srcDirs = ["test/model"]  // Note @Peter's comment below
        }
    }
}

Then invoke the tests as:

./gradlew test

EDIT: If you are using JUnit 5 instead, there are more steps to complete, you should follow this tutorial.
