Jenkins – Mark Gradle build unstable in Jenkins when JUnit tests fail

gradleJenkinsjunit

I have a Gradle build in Jenkins with various JUnit tests that are executed as part of the build. Now when some of the tests fail the complete build is marked as failed – because Gradle says the build failed.

How can I convince Gradle to succeed the build and then Jenkins to mark the build as unstable? With ant this was no problem at all.

Use the ignoreFailures property in the test task.

apply plugin: 'java'
test {
     ignoreFailures = true
}

It depends on the JUnit version and what assert libraries you use.

For JUnit5 and 4.13 see answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/2935935/2986984
If you use assertJ or google-truth, see answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/41019785/2986984

The original answer for JUnit <= 4.12 was:

@Test(expected = IndexOutOfBoundsException.class)
public void testIndexOutOfBoundsException() {

    ArrayList emptyList = new ArrayList();
    Object o = emptyList.get(0);

}

Though answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/31826781/2986984 has more options for JUnit <= 4.12.

Gradle build without tests

You should use the -x command line argument which excludes any task.

Try:

gradle build -x test

The link in Peter's comment changed. Here is the diagram from the Gradle user's guide
