I’m using GradleRunner to test a plugin. Initially (with gradle 2.13) I started with the createClasspathManifest / plugin-classpath.txt mechanism described in https://docs.gradle.org/2.14/userguide/test_kit.html#sub:test-kit-classpath-injection. Now with gradle 2.14 I’m using the java-gradle-plugin plugin. I see the same behavior here in both cases.
In general these work fine I construct build.gradle files to test with that apply my plugin under test like this: plugins { id 'myplugin' }
However, I’ve run into a snag when the plugin I’m testing has GradleBuild tasks. Using the plugins block I get this error:
* What went wrong:
Plugin [id: 'myplugin'] was not found in any of the following sources:
- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Gradle Central Plugin Repository (plugin dependency must include a version number for this source)
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin [id: 'myplugin'] was not found in any of the following sources:
- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Gradle Central Plugin Repository (plugin dependency must include a version number for this source)
If I switch to apply plugin: 'myplugin'
I get
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'junit7373222146585466019'.
> Plugin with id 'myplugin' not found.
So, now the question…is there some way to get tests for plugins that use GradleBuild tasks to work with gradle 2.13 or gradle 2.14 without having this extra logic in my test build.gradle files?
The error message indicates that the plugin cannot be found. I don’t think it’s necessarily related to the fact that you are using a task of type GradleBuild. If you are using the Java plugin development plugin (requires Gradle >= 2.13) then you will not need to set up the classpath manifest manually anymore. There are two important steps you need to take in your test class to make it work:
Apply your plugin with the plugin DSL: plugins { ... }
Call the method .withPluginClasspath() on your GradleRunner instance to indicate that you want to automatically inject the classpath generated by the Java plugin development plugin.
You can also find a sample project using this feature in the Gradle distribution under samples/testKit/GradleRunner/automaticClasspathInjectionQuickstart.
Can you please verify this is working for you? If it isn’t can you please provide a sample project on GitHub that demonstrates the issue?
I then ran the build task using a gradle 2.14 wrapper and got this output:

I cannot reproduce the issue you are seeing. Please find attached a sample project that invokes a GradleBuild as part of the plugin under test. The sample project uses Gradle 2.14.
I wish you hadn’t closed the pull request so quickly. Whether GradleBuild is the right way to solve this particular problem or not, it still seems to be that there’s some interaction between GradleBuild and GradleRunner that’s less than ideal. It may only be about setting buildFile, but it does seem like there’s something there.
As for the solution you propose there, I think it assumes I have full control (i.e. I am the author of) all the tasks that run after changing the version. If I’m not, and there are tasks that read the version at configuration time, I’m not sure what to do.
Closing the pull request on my test project doesn’t really determine whether we can or cannot continue the discussion on your issue. The PR wasn’t really intended to be merged. We can definitely move forward with the discussion.
I believe what’s happening in your case is that Gradle executes a completely new build using your build.gradle file. However, GradleBuild has its own classloader and that classloader does not know about the plugin you define in the plugins block as the new build does not inject the classpath (which we do with GradleRunner through the Tooling API via withPluginClasspath()). The result is that the plugin cannot be resolved. In the stack trace you can also see that that we do not list “Gradle TestKit” as source. I wonder if you can work your way around it by manually injecting the plugin classpath as described in the user guide.

As long as a task exposes the properties you want to change, then you can change them if though you might not have control over the source code.
I am manually injecting the classpath. It feels like a combination of methods in the user guide though…I needed to do the extra stuff in the section marked ‘Working with Gradle versions prior to 2.8’ to get things to work.
I guess what I’m really asking is…what are the chances of teaching GradleRunner to do more so that this extra code isn’t required? Ideally I’d like to use the >= 2.13 ‘Automatic injection with the Java Gradle Plugin Development plugin’ method.
I’m happy to give it a shot myself, but would love to hear if it’s feasible / has a chance of being accepted, and even better some pointers on a good way to go about it.

I’d just write my own plugin that hides the complexity from the end user. It would also allow you reuse the functionality for other plugins you are developing. The approach would be similar to what we do with the Java Gradle Plugin Development plugin.

What’s the reason for not upgrading to Gradle 2.13?
I have upgraded to 2.13 (2.14.1 actually)…but without the extra code, I get the exception above.
I laid out the reasons why it fails in the previous post. I don’t think it would very straight forward to get it right. So if you can make it work by manually injecting the classpath then I’d go for that.
If there’s no hope for a change to the test kit (or somewhere else in gradle) to make this work, then that’s what I’ll do. Some mention that GradleBuild is special in the docs would be a big help.
