Runs only the failed tests from last run. This is especially important productivity boost when we have a very large test suite.

Apply the plugin to the project

plugins {
    id "com.kdabir.rerun-only-failed-tests" version "0.0.1"
}

Run tests

$ gradle test

If there are failures the next gradle test would execute only the failed tests. Once those tests pass, subsequent gradle test will run the entire test suite.

Caveat: If we have introduced a test failure in another cases while fixing failed ones, it might go unnoticed since we are only running the part of test suite.
