AbstractTestTask

API Documentation:AbstractTestTask
Known Subtypes:
Test
XCTest

Abstract class for all test tasks.

  • Support for test listeners
  • Support for reporting
  • Support for report linking in the console output

Note: This abstract class is not intended for implementation by build script or plugin authors.

Properties

PropertyDescription
binaryResultsDirectory

The root directory property for the test results in internal binary format.

ignoreFailures

Specifies whether the build should break when the verifications performed by this task fail.

reports

The reports that this task potentially produces.

Methods

MethodDescription
addTestListener(listener)

Registers a test listener with this task. Consider also the following handy methods for quicker hooking into test execution: AbstractTestTask.beforeTest(groovy.lang.Closure), AbstractTestTask.afterTest(groovy.lang.Closure), AbstractTestTask.beforeSuite(groovy.lang.Closure), AbstractTestTask.afterSuite(groovy.lang.Closure)

addTestOutputListener(listener)

Registers a output listener with this task. Quicker way of hooking into output events is using the AbstractTestTask.onOutput(groovy.lang.Closure) method.

afterSuite(closure)

Adds a closure to be notified after a test suite has executed. A TestDescriptor and TestResult instance are passed to the closure as a parameter.

afterTest(closure)

Adds a closure to be notified after a test has executed. A TestDescriptor and TestResult instance are passed to the closure as a parameter.

beforeSuite(closure)

Adds a closure to be notified before a test suite is executed. A TestDescriptor instance is passed to the closure as a parameter.

beforeTest(closure)

Adds a closure to be notified before a test is executed. A TestDescriptor instance is passed to the closure as a parameter.

onOutput(closure)

Adds a closure to be notified when output from the test received. A TestDescriptor and TestOutputEvent instance are passed to the closure as a parameter.

removeTestListener(listener)

Unregisters a test listener with this task. This method will only remove listeners that were added by calling AbstractTestTask.addTestListener(org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.TestListener) on this task. If the listener was registered with Gradle using Gradle.addListener(java.lang.Object) this method will not do anything. Instead, use Gradle.removeListener(java.lang.Object).

removeTestOutputListener(listener)

Unregisters a test output listener with this task. This method will only remove listeners that were added by calling AbstractTestTask.addTestOutputListener(org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.TestOutputListener) on this task. If the listener was registered with Gradle using Gradle.addListener(java.lang.Object) this method will not do anything. Instead, use Gradle.removeListener(java.lang.Object).

reports(configureAction)

Configures the reports that this task potentially produces.

setTestNameIncludePatterns(testNamePattern)

Sets the test name patterns to be included in execution. Classes or method names are supported, wildcard '*' is supported. For more information see the user guide chapter on testing. For more information on supported patterns see TestFilter

Script blocks

BlockDescription
reports

Configures the reports that this task potentially produces.

Property details

DirectoryProperty binaryResultsDirectory

The root directory property for the test results in internal binary format.

Default:
project.testResultsDir/binary/task.name

boolean ignoreFailures

Specifies whether the build should break when the verifications performed by this task fail.

TestTaskReports reports (read-only)

The reports that this task potentially produces.

Method details

void addTestListener(TestListener listener)

Registers a test listener with this task. Consider also the following handy methods for quicker hooking into test execution: AbstractTestTask.beforeTest(groovy.lang.Closure), AbstractTestTask.afterTest(groovy.lang.Closure), AbstractTestTask.beforeSuite(groovy.lang.Closure), AbstractTestTask.afterSuite(groovy.lang.Closure)

This listener will NOT be notified of tests executed by other tasks. To get that behavior, use Gradle.addListener(java.lang.Object).

void addTestOutputListener(TestOutputListener listener)

Registers a output listener with this task. Quicker way of hooking into output events is using the AbstractTestTask.onOutput(groovy.lang.Closure) method.

void afterSuite(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be notified after a test suite has executed. A TestDescriptor and TestResult instance are passed to the closure as a parameter.

This method is also called after all test suites are executed. The provided descriptor will have a null parent suite.

void afterTest(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be notified after a test has executed. A TestDescriptor and TestResult instance are passed to the closure as a parameter.

void beforeSuite(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be notified before a test suite is executed. A TestDescriptor instance is passed to the closure as a parameter.

This method is also called before any test suites are executed. The provided descriptor will have a null parent suite.

void beforeTest(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be notified before a test is executed. A TestDescriptor instance is passed to the closure as a parameter.

void onOutput(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be notified when output from the test received. A TestDescriptor and TestOutputEvent instance are passed to the closure as a parameter.

apply plugin: 'java'

test {
   onOutput { descriptor, event ->
       if (event.destination == TestOutputEvent.Destination.StdErr) {
           logger.error("Test: " + descriptor + ", error: " + event.message)
       }
   }
}

void removeTestListener(TestListener listener)

Unregisters a test listener with this task. This method will only remove listeners that were added by calling AbstractTestTask.addTestListener(org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.TestListener) on this task. If the listener was registered with Gradle using Gradle.addListener(java.lang.Object) this method will not do anything. Instead, use Gradle.removeListener(java.lang.Object).

void removeTestOutputListener(TestOutputListener listener)

Unregisters a test output listener with this task. This method will only remove listeners that were added by calling AbstractTestTask.addTestOutputListener(org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.TestOutputListener) on this task. If the listener was registered with Gradle using Gradle.addListener(java.lang.Object) this method will not do anything. Instead, use Gradle.removeListener(java.lang.Object).

TestTaskReports reports(Action<? super TestTaskReports> configureAction)

Configures the reports that this task potentially produces.

AbstractTestTask setTestNameIncludePatterns(List<String> testNamePattern)

Sets the test name patterns to be included in execution. Classes or method names are supported, wildcard '*' is supported. For more information see the user guide chapter on testing. For more information on supported patterns see TestFilter
