 Description   

The crux of the issue is that the Test task (and any other Task that implements JavaForkOptions) takes arbitrary Object values for System Properties, which may not be Serializable. Since the system properties on the Test task are annotated with @Input, they need to be persisted in the task artifact cache. An unserializable system property value will cause Test task to fail with UncheckedIOException when attempting to persist task state.

In the reported case, a Closure was used to provide a directory path as a system property.

===========================
I have a task, which runs a set of junit tests and fails at the very end, during persistence of artifacts. It's happening on both gradle 1.3 and 1.4.
Weird thing is, that aforementioned gradle task fails if and only if all junit tests pass. In case of any junit failure, gradle task finishes (with "There were failing tests", which is expected) and junit report is generated.

Here's the task:

task integration(type: Test) {
testClassesDir = sourceSets.integration.output.classesDir
classpath = sourceSets.integration.runtimeClasspath
systemProperty "java.library.path", someLibDir
doFirst

{ // db initialization }

}

Stacktrace:

This exception indicates that Gradle cannot persist the Task execution state when the Task successfully completes, because some element in the Task state is not Serializable.

The most likely culprit is one of the Task inputs, which for the `Test` task includes `systemProperties`. I suspect that `someLibDir` is an unserializable type, not a regular File object. Try switching the setting to:

systemProperty "java.library.path", someLibDir.absolutePath

Comment by Gradle Forums [ 05/Mar/13 ]

You are right, someLibDir is to blame. It wasn't File object, but a closure

Thanks for help!

As announced on the Gradle blog we are planning to completely migrate issues from JIRA to GitHub.

We intend to prioritize issues that are actionable and impactful while working more closely with the community. Many of our JIRA issues are inactionable or irrelevant. We would like to request your help to ensure we can appropriately prioritize JIRA issues you’ve contributed to.

Please confirm that you still advocate for your JIRA issue before December 10th, 2016 by:

  • Checking that your issues contain requisite context, impact, behaviors, and examples as described in our published guidelines.
  • Leave a comment on the JIRA issue or open a new GitHub issue confirming that the above is complete.

We look forward to collaborating with you more closely on GitHub. Thank you for your contribution to Gradle!
