Not working with Gradle 4.0

[FisherKK]

I've been using spoon for 2 years. After updating to Gradle 4.0 when I start my tests with

./gradlew spoon

build quits after few seconds and nothing happens.

Kamils-MacBook-Pro:MyApp F1sherKK$ ./gradlew spoon

Spoon versions that I use:

• com.stanfy.spoon:spoon-gradle-plugin:1.2.2

• com.squareup.spoon:spoon-client:1.6.4

[bmonjoie]

We have the same problem.
I have cloned the source locally and changed the line at
https://github.com/stanfy/spoon-gradle-plugin/blob/master/src/main/groovy/com/stanfy/spoon/gradle/SpoonPlugin.groovy#L97

from return testVariant.testedVariant.outputs.collect { def projectOutput ->
to return testVariant.outputs.collect { def projectOutput ->
(notice the removal of testedVariant)

installed it locally and it seems to work.
Yet, since I have no clue why testedVariant was there in the first place, I didn't do a PR as I don't know if this breaks legacy or introduce side effects.

Can anybody confirm that would be a correct fix for the problem we are facing ?

[bmonjoie]

For everyone else facing this issue, we did a quick workaround in our branch at https://github.com/Frntbac/spoon-gradle-plugin/tree/hotfix/fix_for_gradle_4.0

You can use it through jitpack by changing your build.gradle file as follow :

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.github.Frntbac:spoon-gradle-plugin:hotfix~fix_for_gradle_4.0-SNAPSHOT'
  }
}

Please note it's far from perfect and for example we had to use ./gradlew installDebug spoonDebugAndroidTest (note the installDebug) otherwise the task would not install the apk on the device.

We do not intend on maintaining this branch or repository, it's just a workaround and we thought people might appreciate it but don't expect bug fixing.

Android gradle plugin is 3.0.0-beta5. Seems just this change is not enough.

[CAH-peterhewitt]

@Tapchicoma that look like this bug in spoon that has PR. I'm seeing the same thing.
square/spoon#477

[dweebo]

The fix by @bmonjoie works ok until the spoon-gradle-plugin is upgraded to use build tools 3.0.0-beta7. I'm working on patches to get it upgraded and to use spoon-2.0.0-snapshot.

[vasdeepika]

After upgrading to spoon2.0.0-snapshot, I am getting below exception when I start my tests with
./gradlew spoon

Execution failed for task ':App:spoonDebugAndroidTest'.

[vasdeepika]

Never mind I figured this out, I didn't upgrade spoon-gradle-plugin before.

[Davidvete]

So we should use
classpath 'com.stanfy.spoon:spoon-gradle-plugin:spoon-2.0.0-snapshot'?

[alexilyenko]

Can someone explain which versions of gradle-plugin and spoon-runner should be used in order to work with gradle 4.0?

[vasdeepika]

I think there is no official release from Square yet. But It starts working for me after I updated spoon client version and runner to 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT and used the below plugin.
classpath "com.github.dweebo:spoon-gradle-plugin:5c318830a43c01dc098b745278168e12fb55dedc"

I created this Spoon plugin for Gradle that works with Spoon 2.0.0+ and Android Gradle Plugin 3.0.0+ here: https://github.com/jaredsburrows/gradle-spoon-plugin.
