How to provide scalatest options in gradle-scalatest

[h-ngo]

We want to experiment with some flag options to configure scalatest reporter (http://www.scalatest.org/user_guide/using_the_runner, "Configuring reporters").

How do we provide these options to gradle-scalatest?

[maiflai]

The plugin tries to respect the gradle test logging configuration by manipulating the reporters, so this is not really something that is publicly exposed.

What sort of configuration are you thinking of?

[h-ngo]

Right now we are trying to reduce the noise in console output while running the test by only display failed tests.

e.g.

• should should be able to fan out and fan in (56 milliseconds)
• should should be able to execute flows in parallel (204 milliseconds)
• should should execute complex dependency scenarios *** FAILED *** (95 milliseconds)

We just want the third failed test to be displayed. We want to pass in -oC options to see if it helps. We have tried, testLogging { events = ['FAILED'] }, but it doesn't work

[maiflai]

That's odd - #66 suggests that it should work.

What does the rest of the build file look like? Which version of the plugin are you using?

[maiflai]

You might try applying this to all test tasks?

tasks.withType(Test) {
  testLogging { 
    events = ['FAILED'] 
  }
}

[h-ngo]

Yeah. that's exactly what we applied. our test setup is a bit complicated cuz we used scalatest to test both Java and Scala codes. that block only works for tests against Java, not Scala. Perhaps, the setting is not correct. Will try again and update here.

We are using gradle-scalatest 0.16

[maiflai]

Ok - I don't think there's anything in later releases of the plugin that would specifically affect this.

The block above should work for both; although I'm not certain about the details of testScoverage when handling a Java-only project.

If you could share a simple reproduction project that would help enormously.
