Testing CASA with Gradle

ONLY EDIT THIS WITH "EDIT WIKI TEXT"

Tasks

Within Gradle, tasks are used to perform actions. These tasks are implemented in Java or Groovy, and each task can depend upon other tasks. The table below describes the tasks currently available. There are two ways to supply input to tasks either on the command line or through a properties file. On the command line, properties are set like:
    gradle -Papp=/some/path/CASA.app
Here the app parameter is set to /some/path/CASA.app (the path to an unpacked CASA distribution). Property files and a complete list of supported properties is discussed below. For more information about Gradle tasks in general, please refer to the Gradle user guide.

Task Properties Used Command Line ParametersSorted ascending Description
createStable
test.dir.work
test.dir.data
test.dir.log
test.distro.in
test.distro.out
test.rpm.in
test.rpm.out
test.dir.backup
  create stable from most recent test version
runTest
test.dir.work
test.dir.app
test.dir.data
test.dir.log
app=test.dir.app
test=<LIST>
data=test.dir.data
log=test.dir.log
run one or more tests (from nightly regression set of tests)

In this table <LIST> is either a single test, e.g. vishead, or a list of tests to run, e.g. cleanhelper_test,3C129,csvclean. The elements of the list are separated by commas and optional whitespace. The strings used to represent the test are a substring of the test name, e.g. when vishead is specified all tests which match *vishead* are run.

Gradle task names are "camel cased," and they can be run using just the first letter plus each "hump" letter. So runTest can be invoked on the command line as rT instead of supplying the full name, runTest.

Property Files

Property files are located in the parent of the directory containing the build.gradle build script. Only a single property file will be loaded for a given build or test run with Gradle. A number of possible property file names are checked and the first one found is the one that is selected and loaded. These names are shown in the following table in priority order:

File Name
1 gradle.properties.<HOSTNAME>.<USERNAME>
2 gradle.properties.<OSVER>.<USERNAME>
3 gradle.properties.<OS>.<USERNAME>
4 gradle.properties.<USERNAME>
5 gradle.properties.<HOSTNAME>
6 gradle.properties.<OSVER>
7 gradle.properties.<OS>
8 gradle.properties

Where <USERNAME> is the username of the current user, <HOSTNAME> is the hostname of the current machine, <OS> is either osx or linux, <OSVER> is one of el6, el7, osx10_10, or osx10_8.
