the different way to disable test tasks in the project is:

tasks.withType(Test) {enabled = false}

this behavior needed sometimes if you want to disable tests in one of a project(or the group of projects).

This way working for the all kind of test task, not just a java 'tests'. Also, this way is safe. Here's what I mean let's say: you have a set of projects in different languages: if we try to add this kind of record in main build.gradle:

 subprojects{
 .......
 tests.enabled=false
 .......
}

we will fail in a project when if we have no task called tests

Using -x test skip test execution but this also exclude test code compilation   gradle build -x test    In our case  we have a CI CD process where one goal is compilation and next goal is testing  Build -  Test    So  for our first Build goal we wanted to ensure that the whole project compiles well  For this we have used     gradlew build testClasses -x test   On the next goal we simply execute tests

Every action in gradle is a task  and so is test  And to exclude a task from gradle run  you can use the option --exclude-task or it s shorthand -x followed by the task name which needs to be excluded  Example  gradle build -x test  The -x option should be repeated for all the tasks that needs to be excluded  If you have different tasks for different type of tests in your build gradle file  then you need to skip all those tasks that executes test  Say you have a task test which executes unit-tests and a task testFunctional which executes functional-tests  In this case  you can exclude all tests like below  gradle build -x test -x testFunctional
