Gradle test task giving initialization error with `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`? - gradle

Question

This part of the code is giving me an intilization error with illegal argument exception, no idea what's happening:
task regressionSuite(type: Test, dependsOn: testClasses) {
systemProperties = System.properties
def browser = System.getProperty('aut.browser')
def AUTBrowser = browser ? browser as String : 'Firefox'
println ">>> Using AUT Browser: $AUTBrowser"
def Env = System.getProperty('env')
switch (Env) {
case 'local': include '**/RegressionTestSuite.class'
break
case 'stg': include '**/RegressionStgTestSuite.class'
break
default:
include '**/RegressionTestSuite.class'
}
outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
}
The error message I'm getting after running the Gradle task is. (with full stacktrace)
RegressionTestSuite > initializationError FAILED
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':regressionSuite'.

Answer 1

As you can see in your stacktrace, you have failing tests, which is why the build fails.
Look at the test report or run with -i to get the output of the test to see where exactly your test is failing, then fix your code or test.

Answer 2

Check the correct path of the features property of CucumberOptions
#RunWith(Cucumber.class)
#CucumberOptions(plugin = "pretty", features = "src/test/java/com/dev/cucumber")
public class RunCucumberTest { }
