Calling suiteXmlBuilder() changes invocation context in useTestNG() block - 2.11 Nightly

Old Forum Archive Bugs

Gradle Version: 2.11-20151213230019+0000

A simple test case is a TestNG project with the following task configuration

task testTask(type: Test) {
    useTestNG() {
        println "Name of enclosing task: $name"
        suiteXmlBuilder()
        println "Name of enclosing task: $name"
    }
}

The first println succeeds but the second one fails. It seems that the call to suiteXmlBuilder() changed the invocation context.

Referencing the name of the task like this worked with Gradle 2.10 and before. It started to fail with one of the recent 2.11 Nightly builds.

Thanks. We’re looking into this. We’ve been doing some refactoring in that area.

Configuring the following test task gives an NPE exception caused by building a MissingMethodException with arguments == null.

Simple test case is a TestNG project with the following task configuration:

task testTask(type: Test) {
    useTestNG() {
        suiteXmlBuilder()
        println "Name of enclosing task: $name"
    }
}

The exception is:

The cause is in subprojects/testing-jvm/src/main/java/org/gradle/api/tasks/testing/testng/TestNGOptions.java (Line 199)

public Object propertyMissing(final String name) {
    if (suiteXmlBuilder != null) {
        return suiteXmlBuilder.getMetaClass().invokeMissingMethod(suiteXmlBuilder, name, null);
    }

    throw new MissingPropertyException(name, getClass());
