I’m outputting the test jar using:

```
task testJar(type: Jar) {
 	classifier = 'tests'
	from sourceSets.test.output
}

```

and had a guess at test sources:

```
task testSourcesJar(type: Jar, dependsOn: classes) {
    classifier = 'testSources'
    from sourceSets.test.allSource
}

```

But when I attempt to get the dependencies in another project I can get the test classes but not the source code

```
testCompile 'my.other:project:1.7:tests'
```

In your testCompile dependency declaration, you’re using the tests classifier, so you’re retrieving your testJar jar, which only contains the test output.  
You should also add a dependency on your testSource jar:  
testCompile ‘my.other:project:1.7:testSources’

Or simply merge your Jars  
task testJar(type: Jar) {  
classifier = 'tests’  
from sourceSets.test.output+sourceSets.test.allSource  
}
