See GRADLE-2232 for details. I ran into this problem with gradle 1.0-rc-3. Reverting to rc2 fixed it, but I obviously didn’t want to do it. Using the workaround recommended in these forums:
‘’'groovy compileTestGroovy {
groovyOptions.useAnt = true } ‘’’
worked just fine for me, but I’d prefer not to use a workaround. I’m on windows 7 x64 and CentOS 5 and 6 x64.
Do you have a stack trace for the failure? You’ll need to run with the --full-stacktrace command-line option to get this, as the regular --stacktrace option doesn’t include the information we need.
The failing line in our code is a dependency that references GroovyTestCase. junit is confirmed to be pulled in by the dependencies command, not to mention the fact that using the workaround does it just fine.
* Exception is: org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ‘:testproj:compileTestGroovy’.

Looks like it might be a different problem with the same symptom. Do you know where ‘test.testing.transformations.TestTransformation’ comes from? Do you have the code, or can you tell me what it’s doing on line 69?
Sorry, I should have been clearer on that. The ‘’‘test.testing.transformations.TestTransformation’’’ is an AST transformation (modeled after grails TestForTransformation almost exactly), and it references the GroovyTestCase class as I mentioned above (not so clearly):
public static final ClassNode GROOVY_TEST_CASE_CLASS = new ClassNode(GroovyTestCase.class);
I’ve created GRADLE-2317 for this problem.
Thanks!
A simple solution is to put JUnit on the ‘groovy’ configuration. See GRADLE-2317 for more details.
