Up until recently, I’ve been using JUnit 5 with Eclipse and Maven. As I started using it with Gradle, I became frustrated that you couldn’t see the number of tests run when the tests succeeded. (Don’t worry; this is an easily solvable problem.)

First JUnit 4

You can add code to have Groovy print the number of tests. This matches the number of tests that Eclipse/Maven say are run.

test {
   afterSuite { desc, result ->
    	     if (!desc.parent)
        		println("${result.resultType} " +
            "(${result.testCount} tests, " +
            "${result.successfulTestCount} successes, " +
            "${result.failedTestCount} failures, " +
            "${result.skippedTestCount} skipped)")
   }
}

On to JUnit 5
It’s even less code to ask JUnit 5 to print the test results:

junitPlatform {
  details 'tree'
}

This prints something like

Test run finished after 2518 ms
 [ 20 containers found ]
 [ 0 containers skipped ]
 [ 20 containers started ]
 [ 0 containers aborted ]
 [ 20 containers successful ]
 [ 0 containers failed ]
 [ 27 tests found ]
 [ 1 tests skipped ]
 [ 26 tests started ]
 [ 0 tests aborted ]
 [ 26 tests successful ]
 [ 0 tests failed ]

I agree that I have 27 tests with 1 skipped. But what’s this 20 containers? As you can see from the tree, we have:

• 1 – JUnit Vintage – to run the JUnit 3/4 tests
• 1 – JUnit Jupiter – to run the JUnit 5 tests (I didn’t have any in the project at the time I captured this tree so it is an empty container; but still counts)
• 9 – JUnit test classes
• 9 – The nine data elements in my parameterized test.
