Hi,
What would be a way to repeat a task multiple times. I would like to repeat
the test of a project which deals with concurrency a number of times.
I'm curious why you want to do this, if you don't mind me asking?
You could probably do something at the test framework level, for
example, using a custom JUnit Runner and @RunWith.
Alternatively, to do this at the Gradle task level, you'd need to add
multiple instances of the test task. Something like:
5.times {
task "test$it"(type: Test) {
testResultsDir = new File(project.testResultsDir, it)
testReportDir = new File(project.testReportDir, it)
}
check.dependsOn "test$it"
}
You need to give each task instance it's own results and report dir,
otherwise they scribble over the results of the other instances. This is
arguably a poor choice of defaults.
Statistical test execution might be a good thing for Gradle to support,
where a certain set of tests are executed multiple times, possibly
concurrently, possibly in various different environments, and an
aggregate report is produced at the end. The test execution stuff in
Gradle 0.9 provides us with the infrastructure to start doing
interesting things like this.
