hey all, I’m trying to include certain tests in gradle using

test {
  filter {
    includeTestsMatching("*SomeSpecificTest")
  }
}

but it somehow ignores the inclusion and starts to execute everything. The excludeTestsMatching seems to work as intended.. I wonder what have I done wrong in here. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Not sure why the dsl doesn't work for you, but I've been using --tests cli flag without any issues so far to achieve the same effect

[mitch]

yeah the cli flag works actually - it might be something to do with the test engine I’m using. let me debug a bit more

[mitch]

it’s interesting because includeTestsMatching("com.etc.something.*") works fine, so there’s something to do which may be outside gradle

[Big Chungus]

Gradle assumes junit runner. Anything custom has no guarantees to support all config options.

[mitch]

👍 perfect - in that case that means it almost certainly is some engine-related problem

[Big Chungus]

If you're using junit5, don't forget to add useJunitPlatform()

[Big Chungus]

Looks like your custom engine did not implement support for that dsl.
