Change truncation settings in Gradle

Question

When running Spock tests in Gradle (5.6.3) I see that the output can look something like this:

> :functionalTest > Executing test com.examp...baar.baaaaz.MyCustomGradleTasksP

In reality it should be like this if it showed the full path to the test running:

> :functionalTest > Executing test com.example.fooo.baar.baaaaz.MyCustomGradleTasksPluginFunctionalTest

Maybe it would also tell me which of the actual functional tests from that class it is running?

Is there a way to tell Gradle not to do this truncation so I can see all information?

It seems to be an internal implementation detail of Gradle itself:

private String createProgressLoggerDescription(TestDescriptorInternal testDescriptor) {
        DecoratingTestDescriptor decoratingTestDescriptor = (DecoratingTestDescriptor)testDescriptor;
        DefaultTestClassDescriptor defaultTestClassDescriptor = (DefaultTestClassDescriptor)decoratingTestDescriptor.getDescriptor();
        return "Executing test " + JavaClassNameFormatter.abbreviateJavaPackage(defaultTestClassDescriptor.getClassName(), MAX_TEST_NAME_LENGTH);
    }

It may be possible to override this by implementing your own logger for Gradle as described here: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/logging.html#sec:changing_what_gradle_logs
