Getting Android+Gradle+Jenkins+Spoon to work together

I agree with bonnyz, use spoon plugin. I got it working with multidex.

Here is my build.config

    buildscript {        repositories {            mavenCentral()                /** Ommited project specific config **/        }        dependencies {            classpath 'de.felixschulze.gradle:gradle-spoon-plugin:2.7.3'        }    }    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'    apply plugin: 'maven'    apply plugin: 'de.felixschulze.gradle.spoon'    repositories {                /** Ommited project specific config **/        maven { url "htt/jitpack.io" }        flatDir{            dirs 'libs'        }    }    android {        compileSdkVersion 23        buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"        packagingOptions {            exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt'            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'            exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'            exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'            exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'            exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'            exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'            exclude 'LICENSE.txt'    //        exclude 'NOTICE.txt'            exclude 'NOTICE'        }        defaultConfig {            minSdkVersion 14            targetSdkVersion 23            multiDexEnabled = true            testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"        }        /*        Creating flavours.

Run the tests by

gradle clean connectedQADebugAndroidTest

This will run all the tests with QADebug flavor.

For spoon plugin, I used https://github.com/x2on/gradle-spoon-plugin

The best thing is to use the Spoon Gradle Plugin directly.

From the official docs:

Setup

buildscript {  repositories {    mavenCentral()  }  dependencies {    classpath 'com.stanfy.spoon:spoon-gradle-plugin:1.0.2'  }}apply plugin: 'spoon'// This section is optionalspoon {  // for debug output  debug = true  // To run a single test class  className = 'fully.qualified.TestCase'  // To run a single method in TestCase  methodName = 'testMyApp'}

Run

./gradlew spoon
