This sample shows how to disable both unit tests and Android tests on a project using the variant API. These properties
are set on sub-types of VariantBuilder, for both unit tests and Android tests.
This recipe contains the following directories:
| Module | Content |
|---|---|
| build-logic | Contains the Project plugin that is the core of the recipe. |
| app | An Android application that has the plugin applied. |
The build-logic sub-project contains the CustomPlugin and CheckTestStatusClass.
CustomPlugin uses the [VariantBuilder] object to disable to the tests on different variants. These properties
are then passed into the CheckTestStatusTask to validate
they are turned off for each variant. Below is an example usage of disabling the Android test type:
androidComponents.beforeVariants(androidComponents.selector().withBuildType("debug")) { variantBuilder ->
(variantBuilder as? HasDeviceTestsBuilder)?.deviceTests?.get(DeviceTestBuilder.ANDROID_TEST_TYPE)?.enable = false
}
The variant builder must be a sub-type of HasDeviceTestsBuilder here to access the property. In this example, we
query the deviceTests property for the Android tests, and disable them for the debug build type.
For host tests, the sub-type HasHostTestsBuilder is required, and we query the host test types for the unit test
entry. This is disabled using the following snippet:
androidComponents.beforeVariants(androidComponents.selector().withBuildType("release")) { variantBuilder ->
(variantBuilder as? HasHostTestsBuilder)?.hostTests?.get(HostTestBuilder.UNIT_TEST_TYPE)?.enable = false
}
This will disable the unit tests for the release build type.
To execute example you need to enter command:
./gradlew :app:checkDebugTestStatus and ./gradlew :app:checkReleaseTestStatus
