I want to add integration tests to my Gradle build (Version 1.0). They should run separately from my normal tests because they require a webapp to be deployed to localhost (they test that webapp). The tests should be able to use classes defined in my main source set. How do I make this happen?
Update for 2021:
A lot has changed in 8ish years. Gradle continues to be a great tool. Now there's a whole section in the docs dedicated to configuring Integration Tests. I recommend you read the docs now.
Original Answer:
This took me a while to figure out and the online resources weren't great. So I wanted to document my solution.
This is a simple gradle build script that has an intTest source set in addition to the main and test source sets:
apply plugin: "java"
sourceSets {
// Note that just declaring this sourceset creates two configurations.
intTest {
java {
compileClasspath += main.output
runtimeClasspath += main.output
}
}
}
configurations {
intTestCompile.extendsFrom testCompile
intTestRuntime.extendsFrom testRuntime
}
task intTest(type:Test){
description = "Run integration tests (located in src/intTest/...)."
testClassesDir = project.sourceSets.intTest.output.classesDir
classpath = project.sourceSets.intTest.runtimeClasspath
}
