I am trying to use JUnit 5 with Gradle after I succeeded in running a JUnit 4 test.
Expected result: Tthe JUnit 4 test gave a nice 'passed' in the output and an html report in build/reports/tests
.
Actual result: The JUnit 5 test as below does not output anything besides (...) build succesful
, while I know the test is not actually run since there is no test log output passed/skipped/failed, and putting a fail
in the test keeps the build successful.
Running gradle test --info
yields Skipping task ':testClasses' as it has no actions.
among a lot of I think mostly unrelevant output.
Surprisingly, it also says Executing task ':test'
and Generating HTML test report... Finished generating test html results
and similar for the xml in build/test-results/test
, while the xml is not generated, the html shows no tests run and no errors, and the test is indeed not run.
What I also think very interesting, is that gradle test --debug
yields
[TestEventLogger] Gradle Test Run :test STARTED
[org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.testing.junit.JUnitDetector] test-class-
scan : failed to scan parent class java/lang/Object, could not find the class file
[TestEventLogger]
[TestEventLogger] Gradle Test Run :test PASSED
while my only test contains
fail("test fails");
which I think is very strange!
My build file is
apply plugin: 'java'
test {
dependsOn 'cleanTest' // run tests every time
}
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDirs 'src'
}
}
test {
java {
srcDirs 'test'
}
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
// when using this, it worked with a junit 4 test
// testCompile 'junit:junit:4.10'
// this should be needed for junit 5 (using M4 is required since IJ 2017.1.2
testCompile("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.0.0-M4")
}
test {
testLogging {
events "passed", "skipped", "failed"
}
}
My test is
package mypackage;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
public class HelloWorldTest {
@Test
public void testHelloWorld(){
assertEquals(2, 1+1, "message");
}
}
My folder structure is, using package mypackage
,
java-template-project
--- src
--- mypackage
--- HelloWorld.java
--- test
--- mypackage
--- HelloWorldTest.java
and in IntelliJ 2017.1.3, which I am using, the module structure looks like this
java-template-project
--- java-template-project_main
--- src/mypackage
--- HelloWorld(.java)
--- java-template-project_test
--- test/mypackage
--- HelloWorldTest(.java)
because Gradle nowadays wants the source and tests in their own package.
What I tried
Obviously this is not the first question about this topic, all the relevant questions I found are
Gradle project running jUnit 5 tests in IntelliJ
But as you can see this is for older versions of IntelliJ, and I am already using the syntax for IJ 2016.3.3 and higher according to one of the answers, in in the one JUnit dependency line, so that should be okay.
Upgrade from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5 in intellij with gradle
Links back to above question, and links to this Jetbrains blog which uses the same line as above question. Also links to:
Integrate JUnit 5 tests results with Intellij test report This one shows, in the question, as dependency also
testRuntime("org.junit.vintage:junit-vintage-engine:5.0.0-M1")
which is explained in Why were JUnit Jupiter and JUnit Vintage separated When I Running TestCase in IntelliJ? Well, when I ran it, the output showed it couldn't find this version but according to the Maven Repository this one is for JUnit 5:
testRuntime("org.junit.vintage:junit-vintage-engine:4.12.0-M4")
The answers there note that you can just run the tests within IntelliJ since the later versions have JUnit 5 support. I know, and the test runs fine when I run from within IntelliJ. But I want to use Gradle (and Travis, which needs dependency management).
How to capture stdout/stderr in junit 5 gradle test report?
I tried using
testCompile("org.junit.platform:junit-platform-gradle-plugin:1.0.0-M3") testCompile("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.0.0-M3")
but results didn't change.
My template project is located on https://github.com/PHPirates/java-template-project but this question should contain all information necessary.
