Gradle generate custom test report

Question

I need a bit of help building custom test reports.

Each test would have an output like 'result x', 'result y' which would then be stored in either 1 global report file or 1 report per test.

A naive approach would be to use the 'tear down' part of each test to append the info in a global file.

The output file shouldn't interfere with junit, jacoco or other reports.

Can this be achieved by doing a custom gradle plugin or reusing some functionality in other plugins?

Thank you

The gradle Test task supports custom TestListener s. There's also convenience methods for beforeTest and afterTest

eg:

apply plugin: 'java'
test {
    afterTest { TestDescriptor td, TestResult tr ->
        writeToSomeFile(td.className, td.name, tr.resultType.name())
    }
}
