Akka and scalatest in gradle
When you start using Scala, it's tempting to also start using sbt. You can also use your favorite build tool: Gradle. This is my default Gradle build file:
apply plugin: 'scala'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile group: 'org.scala-lang', name: 'scala-library', version: '2.11.5'
compile group: 'com.typesafe.akka', name: 'akka-actor_2.11', version: '2.3.9'
compile group: 'com.typesafe.akka', name: 'akka-remote_2.11', version: '2.3.9'
testCompile group: 'org.scalatest', name: 'scalatest_2.11', version: '2.2.4'
}
//run the akka application
task run(type: JavaExec, dependsOn: classes) {
//object to run. (The one that extends App)
main = 'pi.Pi'
classpath sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
classpath configurations.runtime
}
//run scala tests. These are not automatically picked up by gradle,
//so we run them like this.
task spec(dependsOn: ['testClasses'], type: JavaExec) {
main = 'org.scalatest.tools.Runner'
args = ['-R', 'build/classes/test', '-o']
classpath = sourceSets.test.runtimeClasspath
}
