Gradle: How to run test with status each line? - gradle

Question

When I run gradle test, it output as following:
:test
> Building 80% > :test > 86 tests completed
and it rewrite the line > Building 80% > :test > 86 tests completed as it's progressing forward.
What I want is to prevent gradle from replacing this line and make it output line by line, for example:
:test
:test > 86 tests completed
:test > 87 tests completed
:test > 88 tests completed
Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

You can configure the test block
apply plugin: 'java'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
test {
// show standard out and standard error of the test JVM(s) on the console, without this
// the text output printed by the tests won't show.
// ref: https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.Test.html
testLogging.showStandardStreams = true
def testCount = 0
afterTest { descriptor, result ->
// descriptor is of type TestDescriptor, result is of type TestResult
// ref: https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/tasks/testing/TestDescriptor.html
// ref: https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/tasks/testing/TestResult.html
logger.lifecycle("Test {count: ${++testCount} name: $descriptor.name result: $result.resultType}")
}
}
Then you will see your output during the test task. Of course you could us another logging level depending on what you want but info, debug, error are also available. The lifecycle will always show, unless -q command line arg is passed.
$ ./gradlew clean test
Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.
