Java Champion and JUG leader Antonio Goncalves recently released his third book on Java EE, Beginning Java EE 7 . Just from the title and the table of contents, it's clear that Antonio set a very ambitious goal for this book, and I think he delivered what he promised.
Using Maven, to run a single test (class), you would issue mvn -Dtest=MyTest. Gradle has similar functionality (gradle -Dtest.single=MyTest), though it seems to be much more powerful. You can get all the details here
.
In a recent post , I showed how to attach a debugger to tests run from the command line via Gradle. While it worked, it turns out that it's a bit over kill. Try this instead:
$ gradle -Dtest.debug test
:compileJava
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes
:compileTestJava
:processTestResources
:testClasses
:test
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005Attach your debugger to port 5005, and off you go. No need to modify your build. Kudos to the NetBeans debugger output for helping me find that. ;)
I've recently been migrating all of my personal projects to Gradle. Since I use Arquillian, that means migrating that part of the build as well. However, being still fairly new to Gradle, how to handle that integration wasn't immediately obvious. Thanks to Benjamin Muschko and Aslak Knutsen , I've finally gotten a working setup.
Maven offers a nice script to allow for attaching a debugger to your build, mvnDebug. Gradle does not. Again, though, Gradle makes it pretty easy to add this to your build.
