Heyho, similar to Hantsy, I am trying to have a custom test task, to run just one single test. in/excluding by name, by tag did not work. Gradle still executed other tests as well. As Test suites seem to be the way to go, I tried these. Same result. Gradle keeps executing all other tests. No matter, what I try. This is my current state. You can see the level of my frustration from the different excludes:

testing {
            suites {
                val test by getting(JvmTestSuite::class) {
                    targets {
                        all {
                            testTask.configure {
                                exclude("*KarateTest")
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

                register<JvmTestSuite>("karateTests") {
                    testType = TestSuiteType.INTEGRATION_TEST

                    dependencies {
                        implementation(projects.libraries.test.karate)
                    }

                    sources {
                        kotlin {
                            setSrcDirs(listOf("src/karateTests/kotlin"))
                        }
                    }

                    targets {
                        all {
                            testTask.configure {
                                exclude("**", "*.*", "*", "*/*", "**/**", "*/**", "**/*")
                                include("*KarateTest")
                            }
                        }
                    }

                }
            }
        }

I try to execute the one test with the

karateTests

task

Test suite or not should not make much difference here. In the end you just have a task of type

Test

that you configure. But I'd like to ask you the same I asked Hantsy. Can you maybe knit an MCVE that demoes the problem?

I'll try

Then the MCVE already fulfilled its purpose 🙂
