Gradle / Run Tests With Detailed Output
Run Tests With Detailed Output
Runs Gradle tests with optional detailed output for debugging.
gradle test -i gradle test -i #!/bin/bash
# Run Tests With Detailed Output
gradle test {{[-i|--info]}} import subprocess
# Run Tests With Detailed Output
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values

run_command() When To Use
During development to identify and troubleshoot test failures with greater verbosity.
Pro Tip
Use the --scan flag to generate a detailed build scan file for deep analysis of test performance and behavior.
Anatomy of Output
Understanding the result
Test execution finished: 4 tests completed successfully. Test Summary Indicates the total number of tests executed and their outcome.
> Task :test Executing Test Task Indicates that the test task is currently being executed.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. Build Failure Confirms that a test failed, prompting further investigation.
Power User Variants
Optimized versions
gradle test -i --rerun Rerun tests immediately after the last execution to ensure stability.
gradle test --info --stacktrace Display stack traces for easier debugging when tests fail.
Troubleshooting
Common pitfalls
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Solution: Check the build.gradle file for errors in configuration or dependencies.
Error: Test run failed due to missing dependencies.
Solution: Ensure all dependencies are correctly specified in build.gradle and synced.
Error: No tests found for given task ':test'.
Solution: Verify that test classes are correctly annotated and located.
