You might try changing testRuntime to testCompile for the junit dependency.

3

I had it at testCompile but that did not work either, that’s when I changed to testRuntime.

4

It seems you have your test in your main sourceSet as compileGroovy complains about missing dependencies. So you either move your junit tests from src/main/groovy into src/test/groovy or you move your junit dependency into the compile configuration.

5

My bad, I merged my code into existing code repo in git. That project had tests in its own test package which I wasn’t aware of. Many many thanks, your advice made me to check the whole project. I’ve identified that issue, modified the sourcesets and the issue is fixed.
