Can't run Scalatest with Gradle

Question

task scalaTest(dependsOn: testClasses) << {
    description = \'Runs Scalatest suite\'
    ant.taskdef(name: \'scalatest\',
            classname: \'org.scalatest.         


        

Answer 1

You can put the following in your build.gradle:

task spec(dependsOn: ['testClasses'], type: JavaExec) {
  main = 'org.scalatest.tools.Runner'
  args = ['-R', 'build/classes/scala/test', '-o']
  classpath = sourceSets.test.runtimeClasspath
}

Note: The path my be different depending on the gradle version as pointed out in the comments by @MikeRylander. Before gradle 4 it used to be 'build/classes/test'.

Then just run gradle spec to execute your tests. I named the task spec because there already is a test task. Dunno if you can override the default test task.

You can look up the available options here.
