1936263 - Sequential runs of mach gradle unit tests should report the same output

Status: NEW

(Fenix :: Tooling, defect)

Description

[:gerard-majax]

While investigating bug 1936262, I finally found the correct invocation to see the warnings: ./mach gradle lib-crash:testDebugUnitTest --tests mozilla.components.lib.crash.CrashReporterTest.

Unfortunately, running that twice in a row result in the second run not showing any warning. It looks like touching / changing the test file and re-running is enough to get results again, as if it was cached somehow.

gradle seems to cache results and not re-run the previous task. I noticed something similar in bug 1950158.

Does adding --rerun address your issue? It is documented at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:builtin_task_options
