How To Run Integration Tests In Gradle

Your Gradle project can easily be setup to run integration tests using a specific Gradle task and source directory. This separates the integration tests from unit tests, making the project easier to understand and helping developers to work more productively.

Discover the simplest way to run integration tests in your Gradle project by adding just a few lines of code to your build script.

This is the best channel I've seem so far when the subject is gradle configurations. Thank you Tom! Your knowledge already save me hours of research on my own

Hey Tom,

Could you confirm that the new gradle testSuite plugin does not automatically adds extensions of the implementation and runtimeOnly for the newly created integrationTestConfiguration. So if my production code is dependent on project B using api or implementation, I noticed that I can't use the code in B in my integration tests

Other question: what exactly is the target of a test suite? What does it represent and what could you do with it (perhaps in the future)

Great content by the way and very needed

Can integration testing is done manually .

I think, for the new Gradle 7.3. plugin you normally also need:
configurations {
testCompile
testRuntime
testImplementation
}
