How to generate an aggregated test report for all Gradle subprojects

Note: This article is outdated. The Test Report Aggregation Plugin can be used to achieve the same result with less effort.

With the plugin it all boils down to the example below.

With gradle:

plugins {
    id 'test-report-aggregation'
}

tasks.named('check') {
    dependsOn tasks.named('testAggregateTestReport', TestReport)
}

With Kotlin:

plugins {
    id("test-report-aggregation")
}

tasks.check {
    dependsOn(tasks.named<TestReport>("testAggregateTestReport")) 
}

Read more about the plugin in the official documentation: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/test_report_aggregation_plugin.html

When using Gradle's multi-project builds, test reports are generated separately in each build directory of every sub-project.

To make my CI server's life easier I often like to aggregate reports in a single build directory:

// build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    base
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.3.72" apply false
}

allprojects {
    group = "com.kaffeinelabs"
    version = "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
}

val testReport = tasks.register<TestReport>("testReport") {
    destinationDir = file("$buildDir/reports/tests/test")
    reportOn(subprojects.mapNotNull {
        it.tasks.findByPath("test") 
    })

subprojects {
    tasks.withType<Test> {
        useJUnitPlatform()
        finalizedBy(testReport)
        testLogging {
            events("passed", "skipped", "failed")
        }
    }
}

Thank you. Great article! But looks like no reports if tests are failed...
