Dev Notes

* Update February 13th, 2012: Thanks to Ben Ripkens for updates to match the new Gradle API.

While searching online, I found many suggestions for how to add a new test target to a Gradle script. Most of them were wrong and others didn’t properly separate the integration test target from standard targets. After not finding a solution, I came up with one on my own.

This example sets up integration tests for Groovy .

Create a source set

This will separate the integration test code from other code, allowing it to be built separately.

• The classpath in the example gives integration tests access to all application and test classes
• The source location will be src/integrationTest/groovy

Code block

sourceSets {
  integrationTest {
    compileClasspath = sourceSets.main.output + configurations.testRuntime
    runtimeClasspath = output + sourceSets.main.output + configurations.testRuntime
    groovy {
      srcDir 'src/integrationTest/groovy'
    }
  }
}

Add the target

Code block

task integrationTest(type: Test) {
  testClassesDir = sourceSets.integrationTest.output.classesDir
  classpath = sourceSets.integrationTest.runtimeClasspath
}
