Furthermore, it automatically generates the classpath for the code under test and injects it via link:{javadocPath}/org/gradle/testkit/runner/GradleRunner.html#withPluginClasspath--[GradleRunner.withPluginClasspath()] for any `GradleRunner` instance created by the user.
It's important to note that the mechanism currently _only_ works if the plugin under test is applied using the <<plugins.adoc#sec:plugins_block,plugins DSL>>.
