[autobuild] org.gradle.execution.TaskSelectionException: Task 'testClasses' not found in root project 'xx' and its subprojects.

See original GitHub issue

I have a brand new “Hello World” Android project created by Android Studio called HMMobile. I am trying to enable CodeQL (Java).

Here is the minimum reproduction repo: https://github.com/Hongbo-Miao/bug-codeql-java

CodeQL full error log

In the CodeQL autobuild step, these lines worth mentioning:

  [2022-12-04 00:02:09] [autobuild] > ./gradlew --no-daemon -S -Dorg.gradle.dependency.verification=off --init-script "/tmp/semmleTempDir/init.gradle" testClasses

  [2022-12-04 00:02:18] [autobuild] org.gradle.execution.TaskSelectionException: Task 'testClasses' not found in root project 'HMMobile'.

My code has no testClasses inside. I am wondering why does CodeQL run the command with testClasses?

./gradlew --no-daemon -S -Dorg.gradle.dependency.verification=off --init-script "/tmp/semmleTempDir/init.gradle" testClasses

(For default Android project created by Android Studio, the command to build is just ./gradlew build. The command for unit test is ./gradlew test)

Any guide to help fix would be appreciate. Thanks! 😃

The fix has been merged and will ship in the next CodeQL release after Christmas (expected mid-January). The cause was standard Android Gradle projects no longer explicitly referencing com.android.tools.build:gradle as of earlier this year, and consequently our autobuild heuristic to recognise such a project and avoid using the non-existent testClasses target no longer worked.

I’ve identified the change we need to make; hope to have a fix PR today.
