Gradle 无法使用 JavaFX 插件从 src/test 访问模块 src/main 中定义的类

Question

I am trying to allow my test classes to access the main classes (in a standard gradle setup). It was working fine until I put my main classes in a module (for JavaFX), at which point all tests stopped working. The main code runs fine.

If I understand correctly, according to this gradle documentation , doing nothing should run the tests normally, but I get an error:

org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.testing.TestSuiteExecutionException: Could not complete execution for Gradle Test Executor 1.
    ...
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.junit.platform.launcher.core.LauncherFactory (in unnamed module @0x50650eec) cannot access class org.junit.platform.commons.util.Preconditions (in module org.junit.platform.commons) because module org.junit.platform.commons does not export org.junit.platform.commons.util to unnamed module @0x50650eec

This happens if I use the intellij configuration, or run ./gradlew test .

So I attempted to fix the issue by patching the module-info , but then I get hundreds of errors like this one:

error: cannot find symbol
import snake.Snake
            ^
  symbol:   class Snake
  location: package snake

Which IntelliJ explains with Package 'snake' is declared in module 'snakegame', which does not export it to module 'snakegame' . I'm guessing that it's referring to the original module-info.java which is defined in src/main/java, and the secondary module-info.java in src/test/java.

In the Gradle documentation it had a code snippet for adding the patch argument yourself in the build.gradle, however this just results in this error:

> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error: --patch-module specified more than once for module snakegame

The command which was actually executed looks like this:

compiler args for task compileTestJava: [--patch-module, snakegame=/project/path/snake/build/classes/java/main, --module-path, ... , --add-modules, org.junit.jupiter.api, --add-reads, snakegame=org.junit.jupiter.api, --patch-module, snakegame=/project/path/snake/src/test/java]

So it's patching two different modules, which I don't understand. It doesn't really matter to me how, I just need the classes to be runnable and have access to the main classes.

UPDATE:

So I recreated the project to try to create a minimal reproducible example and added in elements one at a time, and the problem didn't show up until I added in the gradle JavaFX plugin, at which point it stopped working.

So I started with the default structure, simply created a package called example with an Example.class , and created the same package in test, with a test class Example_Test.class with one test that creates an Example object. I then added an empty module-info in main. Original build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'java'
}
// default stuff

So at this point, everything is working fine. Then I change this to:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin' version '0.0.9'
}

And everything stops working

This is a strange problem, and many solutions didn't work.

• The JavaFX plugin adds the gradle-modules-plugin

My preferred solution would be to use a test module-info.java or module-info.test, but I was not able to get this to work. I ended up simply ignoring modules for tests, which is a passable workaround for the moment, since I'm currently only doing Unit Tests. To ignore modules during testing, add this to the build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin' version '0.0.9'
    // other plugins
}

// other stuff

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()

    moduleOptions {
        runOnClasspath = true
    }
}

Set moduleOptions { runOnClasspath = true } in test
