Running Gradle Build From Eclipse without test

Question

I have a gradle build file that uses the java plugin. If I want to invoke build from the command line and avoiding running unit tests I can just do this:

gradle build -x test

However, we'll be calling gradle tasks from Eclipse. Do I need to build a special task for this kind of build? How would I go about doing it?

Answer 1

Under Eclipse > Menu bar "Windows" > Preferences > left hand side: Gradle> Arguments > Program Arguments > put -x test

and

Under Eclipse > Menu bar "Windows" > Preferences > left hand side: Gradle EnIDE> check box the box next to -x test (--exclude-task test) or use gradle assemble line.

See if that helps. Make sure GRADLE_HOME is set / known to Eclipse.

UPDATE:
THIS will stop running test task from any project (as it's global). If you just want to run gradle clean build -x test or similar (once in a while and only on some project), then do something like this:

1. In GRADLE_HOME/init.d folder, create a global common file called shenzi.gradle

2. In this common file, add the following:

   allprojects{
       apply plugin: 'java'
       apply plugin: 'groovy'
   
       // blah blah uncomment if you need.
       //apply plugin: 'pmd'
       //apply plugin: 'findbugs'
       //apply plugin: 'checkstyle'
       //apply plugin: 'jacoco'
   
       tasks.withType(Compile) {
           options.debug = true
           options.compilerArgs = ["-g"]
       }
   
       // ..
       // .. more code exists here for commented out lines as shown above, so ignore this in your version
       // .. 
   
       task myAliasNoTestBuild() << { 
           // see link below on how to create alias tasks
       }
   }

You can locally set this in eclipse
