Gradle build failure example
Running gradle test will fail in this example,
even though it appears as though build.gradle ignores SystemTests during the test phase.
Moving the apply plugin: groovy inside of allprojects will cause it to succeed,
because the failing test will be ignored because the configuration will be passed to
subprojects.
Based on a tweet of mine.
