Android Gradle app:connectedCheck runs tests from dependencies

Question

I have some library project that has its own tests. I\'m not responsible for this library project and don\'t care about its tests, however, when I run gradle :app:conn

Answer 1

If you have a project dependency to this library, gradle wants to build and test it, since both is the usual build process of a java project. To avoid these test you can do one of this:

1. like Krylez mentioned it in his comment you may just skip the specific test task with ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest -x :mylib:connectedAndroidTest
2. you filter your tests in the test closure like it is explained here: http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/java_plugin.html#sec:java_test
