Gitlab CICD: Tests are not being run as part of the build process, during build stage for Gradle Project resulting in 0% coverage in SonarQube - gradle

Question

I have created a simple project to run a gitlab pipeline, including build, test, coverage, and exporting results in SonarQube. It fails to run the test tasks and therefore no coverage reports are generated.
I have included a build.gradle and a sonar-project.properties file in my gitlab repository as well as the src/main/HelloWorld.java and src/test/HelloWorldTest.java folder. No test-results folder is being generated when running gradle build or gradle test command.
The gitlab-ci.yml file used is the following:
image gradle:latest
stages:
- build
- test
- coverage
- scan
before_script:
- echo $CI_PROJECT_DIR
- echo $CI_BUILDS_DIR
- echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
build:
stage: build
script:
- gradle clean build
after_script:
- ls
- cd build
artifacts:
paths:
- build/libs
test:
stage: test
before_script:
- echo $CI_PROJECT_DIR
- echo $CI_BUILDS_DIR
- echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
script:
- gradle test --debug
after_script:
- ls
artifacts:
paths:
- build/test-results
report:
stage: coverage
before_script:
- echo $CI_PROJECT_DIR
- echo $CI_BUILDS_DIR
- echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
script:
- gradle jacocoTestReport
after_script:
- ls
artifacts:
paths:
- build/reports/jacoco/test/html
- build/reports/jacoco/test/xml
sonarqube-check:
image:
name: sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli:latest
entrypoint: [""]
stage: scan
variables:
SONAR_USER_HOME: "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/.sonar"
GIT_DEPTH: "0"
cache:
key: "${CI_JOB_NAME}"
paths:
- .sonar/cache
before_script:
- echo $CI_PROJECT_DIR
- echo $CI_BUILDS_DIR
- echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
- echo $CI_JOB_NAME
script:
- sonar-scanner
allow_failure: true
only:
- main
The result following gradle build is:
$ ls
build
build.gradle
README.md
sonar-project.properties
src
No test results folder is created.
The associated build.gradle file is:
plugins {
id 'java'
id 'org.sonarqube' version '2.7'
id 'jacoco'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter:5.7.1'
testImplementation 'org.jacoco:org.jacoco.core:0.8.6'
}
test {
useJUnitPlatform()
reports {
junitXml.outputLocation.set(layout.buildDirectory.dir("$buildDir/test-
results/test-junit-xml"))
}
jacoco {
destinationFile = file("$buildDir/jacoco/jacocoTest.exec")
}
}
sonarqube {
properties {
property "sonar.projectName", "imagehelloworld"
property "sonar.projectKey", "imagehelloworld"
property "sonar.sources", "src/main"
property "sonar.tests", "src/test"
property "sonar.junit.reportsPath", "$buildDir/test-results/test"
property "sonar.jacoco.reportPaths",
"$buildDir/jacoco/jacocoTest.exec"
}
}
The output of the build job is as follows:
gradle clean build
