How to make multiple configurations with gradle plugin?

[ildar2]

We need to define several configurations to be able to launch different sets of tests. Afaik you can define multiple Marathonfiles, but is it possible to do it with gradle plugin?
I've tried to define two marathon {} blocks, but it only executes the last one.
And how one would launch different configs?

This is partially possible with dynamic configuration. I would just use CLI for this use-case and store multilme Marathonfiles for better visibility

Thanks for the quick feedback!
So basically I need to create a gradle task that would build test apks and then run cli "marathon -m Marathonfile1-2"?

Also is there a way to configure size [small | medium | large]? edit: found it (not working tho: CustomMessageMissingMethodException: Could not find method set() for arguments [size, small] on {} of type java.util.LinkedHashMap.)

That's not what I meant. You can configure gradle to use parameters as filter queries and pass in those using gradle: https://docs.marathonlabs.io/configuration/dynamic-configuration#gradle. For example you can configure a FQTN as the parameter or a regex.

A much better option would be not to use gradle at all for testing and use CLI version. This way you can store as many testing configurations as needed in the form of many Marathonfiles.

For running annotated tests (small/medium/large) you can use https://docs.marathonlabs.io/configuration/filtering#annotation as a filter
