Hello All I am trying to create a Task of type Test that would facilitate running only a selected set of tests. Below is the code and the error that I am getting. Could you please let me know what is that I am doing wrong. I am using gradle1.6 Any help appreciated.

task myTest(type:test){
         include 'com.sample.test.subset.*'
  }

Thanks Lin

It’s ‘type: Test’, not ‘type: test’.

Thank you for the reply.

The problem I have now is when I run a command like the below , the tests execute only if the classes or the gradle.build was modified. If nothing was modified it would just state that it was up to date.

gradlew myTest

Please let me know if

  1. there is a way to run the tests repetitively any time I run the commnd 2. Also the junit reports don’t seem to be generating, is it required to add TestReport explicitly?

Thanks Lin
