Run Gradle tests using multiple Java toolchains
I have a Gradle project that uses the Java version specified by the toolchain API:
val minimumJava = JavaLanguageVersion.of(8)
val maximumJava = JavaLanguageVersion.of(16)
java {
toolchain {
languageVersion.set(minimumJava)
vendor.set(JvmVendorSpec.ADOPTOPENJDK)
}
}
I want to be able to compile with the minimum supported Java version and then run tests with all JDKs supported by the project.
I tried the following, but apparently only the original tests were executed, all the others were not, even though the required JDK was downloaded and set up correctly:
for (javaVersion in JavaLanguageVersion.of(minimumJava.asInt() + 1)..maximumJava) {
val base = tasks.test.get()
val testTask = tasks.register<Test>("testUnderJava${javaVersion.asInt()}") {
javaLauncher.set(
javaToolchains.launcherFor {
languageVersion.set(javaVersion)
}
)
classpath = base.classpath
testClassesDirs = base.testClassesDirs
isScanForTestClasses = true
}
tasks.test.configure { finalizedBy(testTask) }
}
This is running in a dumb terminal:
❯ TERM=dumb ./gradlew test testUnderJava10 --rerun-tasks --scan
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on

> Task :testClasses

From build scan , it seems that instead of executing tests, tests executed with JDK8. I’m confused, the docs says this should be simple:
tasks.register<Test>("testsOn14") {
javaLauncher.set(javaToolchains.launcherFor {
languageVersion.set(JavaLanguageVersion.of(14))
})
}
Solution
I think I’ve found the root cause of the problem I’m experiencing, and I’ll post a solution in case anyone else is having a similar issue.
I have the following test configuration:
tasks.test {
useJUnitPlatform()
testLogging {
showStandardStreams = true
showCauses = true
showStackTraces = true
events(*org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.logging.TestLogEvent.values())
exceptionFormat = org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.logging.TestExceptionFormat.FULL
}
}
A task named test
is being directed to . useJunitPlatform()
This setting is not automatically propagated to all subsequent Test
tasks (of course). So, in this case, the solution is simply to use:
tasks.withType<Test> {
// Same configuration as above
}
Update 2022-03-16
I decided to create a multi-JVM testing plugin for Gradle so that all the test tasks were created and fewer boilerplate files were needed across projects.
