Gauge Gradle Plugin

For support, please visit https://github.com/getgauge/gauge-gradle-plugin

Use the gauge-gradle-plugin to execute specifications in your Gauge java project and manage dependencies using Gradle.

Using plugin in project

Apply plugin gauge and add classpath to your build.gradle. Here is a sample gradle file,

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'gauge'
apply plugin: 'application'

group = "my-gauge-tests"
version = "1.1.0"

description = "My Gauge Tests"

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.thoughtworks.gauge.gradle:gauge-gradle-plugin:+'
    }
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    'com.thoughtworks.gauge:gauge-java:+',
}

// configure gauge task here (optional)
gauge {
    specsDir = 'specs'
    inParallel = true
    nodes = 2
    env = 'dev'
    tags = 'tag1'
    additionalFlags = '--verbose'
    gaugeRoot = '/opt/gauge'
}

Older Versions of the Plugin are also available at Gradle Plugin Portal. For an uptodate version of the Plugin please use buildscript and mavenCentral() in your build.gradle as shown in the example above.

Executing specs using gradle

To execute gauge specs,

gradle gauge

Execute list of specs

gradle gauge -PspecsDir="specs/first.spec specs/second.spec"

Execute specs in parallel

gradle gauge -PinParallel=true -PspecsDir=specs

Execute specs by tags

gradle gauge -Ptags="!in-progress" -PspecsDir=specs

Specifying execution environment

gradle gauge -Penv="dev" -PspecsDir=specs

Note : Pass specsDir parameter as the last one.

All additional Properties

The following plugin properties can be additionally set:

Property name Usage Description
specsDir -PspecsDir=specs Gauge specs directory path. Required for executing specs
tags -Ptags="tag1 & tag2" Filter specs by specified tags expression
inParallel -PinParallel=true Execute specs in parallel
nodes -Pnodes=3 Number of parallel execution streams. Use with parallel
env -Penv=qa gauge env to run against
additionalFlags -PadditionalFlags="--verbose" Add additional gauge flags to execution
gaugeRoot -PgaugeRoot="/opt/gauge" Path to gauge installation root

See gauge's command line interface for list of all flags that be used with -PadditionalFlags option.

Adding/configuring custom Gauge tasks

It is possible to define new custom Gauge tasks by extending GaugePlugin class. It can be used to create/configure tasks specific for different environments. For example,

task gaugeDev(type: GaugeTask) {
    doFirst {
        gauge {
            specsDir = 'specs'
            inParallel = true
            nodes = 2
            env = 'dev'
            additionalFlags = '--verbose'
        }
    }
}

task gaugeTest(type: GaugeTask) {
    doFirst {
        gauge {
            specsDir = 'specs'
            inParallel = true
            nodes = 4
            env = 'test'
            additionalFlags = '--verbose'
        }
    }
}
