Gradle Test Dependency
You can expose the test classes via a 'tests' configuration and then define a testCompile dependency on that configuration.
I have this block for all java projects, which jars all test code:
task testJar(type: Jar, dependsOn: testClasses) {
baseName = "test-${project.archivesBaseName}"
from sourceSets.test.output
}
configurations {
tests
}
artifacts {
tests testJar
}
Then when I have test code I want to access between projects I use
dependencies {
testCompile project(path: ':aProject', configuration: 'tests')
}
This is for Java; I'm assuming it should work for groovy as well.
This is a simpler solution that doesn't require an intermediate jar file:
dependencies {
...
testCompile project(':aProject').sourceSets.test.output
}
There's more discussion in this question: Multi-project test dependencies with gradle
This works for me (Java)
// use test classes from spring-common as dependency to tests of current module
testCompile files(this.project(':spring-common').sourceSets.test.output)
testCompile files(this.project(':spring-common').sourceSets.test.runtimeClasspath)
// filter dublicated dependency for IDEA export
def isClassesDependency(module) {
(module instanceof org.gradle.plugins.ide.idea.model.ModuleLibrary) && module.classes.iterator()[0].url.toString().contains(rootProject.name)
}
idea {
module {
iml.whenMerged { module ->
module.dependencies.removeAll(module.dependencies.grep{isClassesDependency(it)})
module.dependencies*.exported = true
}
}
}
.....
// and somewhere to include test classes
testRuntime project(":spring-common")
