by just looking at it I think your test are failing try to do a gradle clean built with *-x test* just to ignore the test and see if it builds if the built is fine then you must be missing some dependency for tests. — Grinish Nepal, Apr 25 '16 at 16:55
can you please explain further, i dont get you. Firstly, is my gradle.build file OK?, why do i have issues about static mthods?.. tanx — Joe, Apr 25 '16 at 17:04
what I am trying to say is try this command *gradle clean build -x test * if this works then it would be nice to see the code that you are testing and what have you written to test it. gradle seems OK to me. — Grinish Nepal, Apr 25 '16 at 17:20
tanx , i just ran the command and the BUILD was successful. Have also updated my code. please review... tanx — Joe, Apr 25 '16 at 17:28
@Grinish Have done as requested, can you please review my code for me please, .. the stack trace in the index.html complains about static method.. Tanx you so much in advance — Joe, Apr 25 '16 at 17:40
Not sure what is happening with your test but you are getting error for the method testVerifyPrivacyMethod() which i cant see anywhere. Reading these might help. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21413174/junit-crashes-saying-method-should-be-static-then-crashes-saying-it-shouldnt http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1052577/why-must-junits-fixturesetup-be-static — Grinish Nepal, Apr 25 '16 at 18:57
... Have read that link earlier and it was no good. its same error for all the class. i have the testVerifyPrivacyMethod in my code. its just that my code is too vague and cant post it all. but its same error message displayed. dont know why its complaining about the static method. are mt JUNIT annotations Ok tho?. i mean the @Before. — Joe, Apr 25 '16 at 19:07
@Joe why are you actually using the seperate `selenium` source set in your gradle file and the `seleniumCompile` configuration and not just the `testCompile` configuration that comes with the Java plugin? And what is the reason to apply the application plugin to the project? From what I have seen so far this is simply not needed as you are only using it to execute the tests in some weird way... — dpr, Apr 26 '16 at 07:46

The error is actually in your stack trace already:

Method testVerifyPrivacyStatement() should not be static

That is your test methods should have the following signature:

@Test
public void testWhatEverYouThingNeedsToBeTested() throws Exception {
    // Put you test code here
}

Furthermore the @Before and @After methods must not be static as well and you don't need to call the @After methods manually. These methods are invoked by JUnit before and after each test method. You should seriously read some JUnit tutorials and the Javadoc of the different annotations!!!

@Before
public void setup() throws Exception {
    // This method will be called by JUnit _before_ execution of each test
    // Do whatever is needed to initialize the runtime environment for your tests
}

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
    // This method will be called by JUnit _after_ execution of each test
    // Free resources allocated during the initialization or the tests themselves
}

And last but definitively not least. The main-method is of absolutely no meaning for a JUnit test. You can keep it, if you want to execute your tests in a standalone way, but I'd rather remove it. If you want to keep it, you need to remove the @Before annotation from the method and you need to execute the tests through JUnit programatically in order for the annotations to work properly.

TLDNR:

Remove all the static modifiers in your test class
Remove the main method from your test class. If there is some initialization that is needed for the test execution, put it in the setup() method. But from what I can see, there is nothing in there that is actually needed...
Remove the manual calls to tearDown()
Read some basic tutorials on Java code structure (Oracle Lesson on Packages) and JUnit (JUnit Basic Usage)

Tank a mill for your help. Appreciate. Will do as advised as regards the tutorials. so far so good, all looks well now but only need to figure out why only one test runs when i call the gradle build. No results in reports because it says 0 Test but there is a log of the test run in the classes folder. ... Tanx so much once again :) – Joe Apr 28 '16 at 09:45
@Joe, you're welcome. Gaining some reputation though ;-) Did you make sure all of your test methods are properly annotated with `@Test`? – dpr Apr 28 '16 at 09:49
Yes. let me put it in a zip file and will attach it here if i can, that will give you a through view of what i have done so far. :) Here is a link to the project. it will give you a better overview... [projectLink](http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/565307/IndoAutomation_GradleProject.7z) Tanx once again – Joe Apr 28 '16 at 10:21
I don't know what your doing wrong. If execute `gradle build` on your project all tests (32 in total) are executed. However they are all failing due to a missing chrome driver `java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: C:\home\ola\chromedriver`. All I did was to add a `gradle.properties` file in to project root containing the location of my java installation (`org.gradle.java.home=c:\PathToJava`)... – dpr Apr 28 '16 at 10:43
The gradle build is not failing tho, but outputs what have added in the image above . don't know if this is right or wrong. pls check added image – Joe Apr 28 '16 at 11:06
http://s32.postimg.org/fstugkid1/2016_04_28_13h13_58.png That's the result of my build on your project... – dpr Apr 28 '16 at 11:15
Now this is becoming so crazy ... :))) This is totally different from my result. don't know what else to do. I was getting this result ONLY when i had my test methods static, after removing the static from my test class, my build was successful but what i dont understand is why is it only picking the 7th test when i run gradle build..... Ok what command do i need to run my test? maybe that is where am wrong...... – Joe Apr 28 '16 at 11:24
Let us [continue this discussion in chat](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/110505/discussion-between-dpr-and-joe). – dpr Apr 28 '16 at 11:26
I Finally figured it out... You won't believe the silly mistake i did. OMG !!! its so hilarious ... In my close() i had system.exit(0) instaed of driver.close(). So the process will always end after every first test run. Its working perfectly now..... Am so so silly, laughing hard here right now. OMG !!! . ThumbsUp to dpr He his a genius. – Joe Apr 29 '16 at 11:33
@Joe good to read you were able to solve the remaining issue your self. – dpr May 01 '16 at 07:19
