Gradle build without tests

Question

I want to execute `gradle build` without executing the unit tests. I tried: ``` gradle -Dskip.tests build ``` That doesn't seem to do anything. Is there some other command I could use?

Accepted Answer

You should use the `-x` command line argument which excludes any task.

Try:

```
gradle build -x test 
```
