Description

When using the DeltaSpike Test-Control module I noticed that unit tests that run perfectly fine with Maven won't run with Gradle at all.

Let's say you have the following producer method to create a SLF4J Logger instance:

LoggerProducer.java

public class LoggerProducer {
    @Produces
    @Default
    public Logger createLogger(final InjectionPoint ip) {
        Class declaringClass = ip.getMember().getDeclaringClass();
        return org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(declaringClass);
    }
}

The test for this is also pretty simple:

LoggerProducerTest.java

@RunWith(CdiTestRunner.class)
public class LoggerProducerTest {
    @Inject 
    private Logger logger;
    @Test
    public void testCreateLogger() throws Exception {
        assertThat(logger, is(notNullValue()));
    }
}

Weld as well as OpenWebBeans throw an exception when the unit test is executed by Gradle, because no suitable beans seem to be found for injection. I have attached a running demo project so you can see for yourself.
