How to configure with gradle running JUnit4 tests with categories using vintage engine of jupiter Junit5 platform

Question

When we had only JUnit4 tests, we used

test {
    useJUnit{
        excludeCategories "SlowTests"
    }
}

Now migrating to JUnit5 and still having JUnit4 tests around, how do we use it in JUnitPlattform to let tests marked with a JUnit test category out?

test {
    useJUnitPlatform{
        // ???
    }
}

Answer 1

JUnit4's categories are mapped to tags according to the full class name of the category

So the following should work:

tasks.test {
    useJUnitPlatform {
        includeTags.add("com.acme.Example")
        // or the following to exclude the tag: includeTags.add("!com.acme.Example")
    }
}
