I don't like the fact that jar depends on test, either. It belongs somewhere else. We now have a similar problem with the checkstyle and codenarc tasks, because jar also depends on them (for want of somewhere else to put them).

I think we need some way to tell Gradle whether or not you want tested (and checked) artifacts.

A simple option is to add a lifecycle task, called, say 'build' and move the lifecycle dependencies from 'jar' to 'build', so we end up with something like:

jar -> compile, processResources
libs -> (all jars and wars)
dists -> (all zips and tars)
check -> (all code quality checks)
build -> (all archives), test, check

This way, 'gradle clean test' will test only the current project. A downside to this approach is that there's no way to get the existing behaviour (ie test this project and all projects it depends on).

Another option would be to use implicit tasks for tested vs non-tested artifacts, something like:

Terminology question: Implicit, Synthetic or Rule Task.

I prefer synthetic over implicit as it conveys for meaning for me. We might say that task rules (usually) create synthetic tasks.


Synthetic is good with me.
