How to get Gradle to use a classpath for tests

[Tim Fox]

Here's the project https://github.com/vert-x/mod-redis

It's Thorsten's redis busmod which I am attempting to convert to a Gradle build

When you run tests ./mk test it complains it can't find classes.

I have tried to add a classpath entry to the test task but to no avail. Doesn't seem to work whatever I do.

Docs are pretty much useless.

Any ideas?

I might be way off target here (and I'm no sort of Gradle expert), but I've been having a look to see if I can see what's wrong...

If you change the classpath line to:

  classpath << files('build/classes/main')

It gets further...  I guess you need to add this back in as it looks like the vert.x gradle plugin removes it[1]

At least it seems to recognise itself with this addition...  Now to get it to recognize the jedis client...

This "seems" to work for me...

test {

  classpath += files('build/classes/main')

  classpath += configurations.compile

  systemProperty 'vertx.test.timeout', 15

  systemProperty 'vertx.mods', "$projectDir/build/tmp/mod-test"

  systemProperty 'vertx.version', "$project.version"

  testLogging.showStandardStreams = true

}

Right.. this is another issue - out build is relying on brittle project
specific plugins. When we need to change things we have to clone the
gradle-plugin project, change it, push it to maven... it's horrible

IMO this is _not_ how build tools are supposed to work. Build tools
should be explicit and declarative and not rely on magic.

I expanded the build & removed 1 line.

https://github.com/vert-x/mod-redis/pull/2

I'm not sure now whether it should be there, but I think it was required
previously in other builds...
