Jvm options in android when run gradlew test

Question

I have a project that using Robolectric for unit test purpose. This project uses Robolectric 3.0 and need to add -ea and -noverify options in Virtual Machine options.

In Android Studio, I created new JUnit configuration in Run > Edit Configurations... and then set VM Options to -ea -noverify. With this way I success to run my unit test. This is image about my configure, view Here

However, for continuous deployment, I need run unit test with command line. So I use ./gradlew test to run unit test. I also add org.gradle.jvmargs=-ea -noverify to gradle.properties file. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I can run unit test but I got java.lang.VerifyError and I think that gradle.properties was not load.

So, my question is, how to make gradle.properties load or do you know any way to fix my vm options problem?

Answer 1

It is already answered but this may be an easier solution:

In your application modules' build.gradle file in android closure, add this.

android {   ....    testOptions {     unitTests.all {       jvmArgs '-noverify'     }   } } 

Answer 2

I found that we can add this block to app's build.gradle to solve this problem

tasks.whenTaskAdded { theTask ->     def taskName = theTask.name.toString()     if ("testDevDebug".toString().equals(taskName)) {         theTask.jvmArgs('-ea', '-noverify')     } } 

DevDebug is my build variant.
