I just pushed the fix for the following bug: JIRA: https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-36265 Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8u-dev/rt/rev/15fdfaeb91f6
With this changeset, the default value of the gradle "USE_ROBOT" flag is now false. Use "-PUSE_ROBOT=true" to enable the robot-based tests. Note that this flag is only relevant when "-PFULL_TEST=true" (that hasn't changed).
