I am using gradle-1.6 and added some junit tests.

One of my test classes is using the the Enclosed runner. Here is an [example](https://github.com/junit-team/junit/wiki/'Enclosed'-test-runner-example). When I run the test (gradle test), it counts the test twice - once for the inner class and another for the enclosing class. Here is an example:

Hi, I’ve raised GRADLE-2843 for this.

Would you be interested in contributing a fix for this?

Yes I would love to.

However, I will just need a little guidance. I am not very familiar with Gradle internals and not sure how to fix this. If you point me to a place where I should begin, I can handle from their onwards.

The test integration code is more involved than you might think so initially. The place to start is: [https://github.com/gradle/gradle/tree/master/subprojects/plugins/src/main/groovy/org/gradle/api/internal/tasks/testing/junit/result](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/tree/master/subprojects/plugins/src/main/groovy/org/gradle/api/internal/tasks/testing/junit/result)

I’d start with writing a test case using the enclosed runner and stepping through the infrastructure code: [https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/plugins/src/integTest/groovy/org/gradle/testing/junit/JUnitCategoriesIntegrationSpec.groovy#L29](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/plugins/src/integTest/groovy/org/gradle/testing/junit/JUnitCategoriesIntegrationSpec.groovy#L29)

One thing to keep in mind is that the tests run in a separate process, you you’ll need to launch the tests in debug mode then attach the debugger. The test task has a property for this that you’ll need to set.
