How do I set the working directory for TestNG in a multi-project gradle build?

[Robert Krüger]

Hi,

I know this is really more a gradle question but since nobody in the
gradle forum or stackoverflow answered, this is sort of my last hope
to find someone who actually uses gradle and testng and can answer
this question.

hi Robert,

you over ride the gradle java plugin's test task like this:

test {

        ignoreFailures = true  //use this to allow build to continue for CI purposes

        useTestNG()

        options.suites("src/test/resources/testng.xml") //pick up centralized xml suite for each sub project

} 

put this in your top level build.gradle and it will get run with the build task and iterate over each sub project
