}

runner¶

suspend fun runner(): GradleRunner

Instantiates a GradleRunner in dir.

                println("Configuring the project")
            }

    """.trimIndent()

    val result = gradle.runner()
        .withPluginClasspath()
        .withArguments("print")
        .build()

    result.output shouldContain "Configuring the project"
}
