Gradle only run test

Question

I am new to gradle+java. I a use Intellij to debug a sophisticated unit test case on an algorithm. The problem is every time after I click the 'debug' button, it takes long time (~2min) to start my test case, and from the log as following, it seems gradle is checking dependencies first and there are hundreds of them. Since most of the time I just re-trigger the debugger with no or very little change(no dependency related) to test code. How can I skip the dependency checking and only build the test file when there is a change?

Parallel execution with configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

The Intellij debug configuration

Answer 1

Press Alt + F12 to open the terminal, and execute the command like the following:

gradlew :indexing:signals:user:test

Answer 2

You can make gradle skip dependency checking by using the --offline parameter.
