A way to run junit from unexploded jar

mstepanenko · June 23, 2015, 10:51pm

Hello gang,

I’m looking for instructions on how to run/execute junit tests from within the jar file w/out exploding it first. Is it possible to do in the latest version of gradle??Thanks!

Hi,
See [JUnitCore API][1]

Using a JavaExec task, you can achieve what you want

e.g.

javaexec {
  classpath files('junit.jar', 'your jar') (*)
  main org.junit.runner.JUnitCore
  args 'Test1','Test2'
}

(*) Note that the classpath needs a FileCollection, so you can use a Dependency as well
e.g.

configurations {
  runJunit
}
dependencies {
  runJunit 'junit:junit:4.11'
  runJunit sourceSets.test.output //to get your compiled test jar
}

and ‘classpath runJunit’

Thanks for the info!

Im getting the following error:

Where:

What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project ‘gradle-standalone-test’.

Ok so I was able to resovle above by adding

configurations {
runJunit
}

but Im still getting an error:

It’s
main=‘org.junit.runner.JUnitCore’

Main is a string property of the javaexec task.
Sorry about the inaccuracy.

You specify your javaexec classpath with classpath files(‘junit.jar’, ‘fatjar.jar’)

This means that you manually have junit.jar in the project’s directory.

The point of using “configurations” and “dependencies” is to avoid that.
That’s why in my example I wrote
"classpath runJunit"
This allows to let gradle decide where the retrieved junit.jar is located (it’s actually somewhere in its cache but we don’t care )

mstepanenko · June 26, 2015, 9:49pm

Can you give me an exmple of what my “classpath runJunit” should look like? Im on windows.

Francois_Guillot · June 26, 2015, 9:56pm

It should exactly look like that
we defined a runJunit configuration
This can be used in the classpath method that is present on javaExec tasks (see its javadoc)
javaexec {
classpath configurations.runJunit
main=‘org.junit.runner.JUnitCore’
//args ‘Test1’,'Test2’
args ‘TestExecution’
}

I’m currently not in front of my computer so I might forget something but that should work.

mstepanenko · June 26, 2015, 10:03pm

Thanks for all your help!!! Switched to “classpath configurations.runJunit”

but still

I’m starting to lose track on your actual build.gradle file content.
Could you post it here or create a gist on github (might be clearer)
