How to use a build artifact as a test resource about gradle-testsets-plugin HOT 3 CLOSED

Nice! It looks like you're using the distribution plugin and its distZip task.
distZip is also an archive task, so you can also refer to the archive that's being built from the archivePath property:

processIntegrationTestResources {
    from zipTree(distZip.archivePath) {
        into 'myArchive'
    }
}

That way you don't have to repeat the logic of how the zip file name is assembled.

You should probably also add a dependsOn distZip to make sure the tasks are run in the correct order.

Hi,
yes that's quite a general Gradle question :-)
I suppose you would like to have your main JAR file as a classpath resource for the integration test.

Most straightforward way is to copy the JAR to the integrationTest resources output folder, and probably rename it because you want to have a fixed filename when referring to it.

task copyMainJarToIntegrationTestResources(type: Copy) {
    from jar
    into sourceSets.integrationTest.resources.outputDir
    rename { "${jar.baseName}.jar" }
}

Then your integrationTest task should depend on this copy operation:

integrationTest.dependsOn copyMainJarToIntegrationTestResources

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I managed to solve it slightly differently but the idea is same.

Gradle already has a task tied to each sourcesets called process<sourceset-name>Resources. So, in my example in this thread, Gradle adds a task named processIntegrationTestResources. This task automatically copies files from src/integrationTest/resources to build/resources/integrationTest.

So, I added my build artifact that needs to be included in the resource (build/resources/integrationTest) like this:

processIntegrationTestResources {
    from (zipTree (file("$buildDir/distributions/${project.name}-${version}.zip"))) {
        //Unzips this build artifact into the resource's subdirectory named 'myArchive' relative to resource directory
        into "myArchive"
    }
}

Ideally I'd like to change the from... line to be something like this so that I don't have to specify the artifact location, but haven't been able to get that to work yet.
