Tips for Gradle

As Gradle uses a different build directory than Maven by default, you might need to set the report_paths variable:

    report_paths: '**/build/test-results/test/TEST-*.xml'

You also need to enable JUnit XML reports as shown below.

test {
  reports {
    junitXml.enabled = true
  }
}
