For general guidance on how to use TestKit, see the <<test_kit.adoc#test_kit,dedicated chapter>>.

To enable configuration caching in your tests, you can pass the `--configuration-cache` argument to link:{javadocPath}/org/gradle/testkit/runner/GradleRunner.html[GradleRunner] or use one of the other methods described in <<configuration_cache.adoc#config_cache:usage:enable,Enabling the configuration cache>>.

You need to run your tasks twice.

====
If you are using Eclipse: By default, Eclipse also runs unit tests as modules using module patching (see <<#sec:java_testing_modular_patching,below>>).
In an imported Gradle project, unit testing a module with the Eclipse test runner might fail.
You then need to manually adjust the classpath/module path in the test run configuration or delegate test execution to Gradle.

This only concerns the test execution.
