Cannot run tests that use Hamcrest

[renatoathaydes]

I wrote this Java test:

package example;

import org.junit.Test;

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.equalTo;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;

public class JavaTest {
    @Test
    public void test1() {
        assertThat(Main.greetings(), equalTo("Hello. World!"));
    }
}

As you probably know, JUnit depends on hamcrest (partial output of gradle depend):

testRuntimeClasspath - Runtime classpath of source set 'test'.
\--- junit:junit:4.12
     \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.3

So this should work, I think.

The stacktrace:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class example.JavaTest (in module simple.main) cannot access class org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers (in module hamcrest.core) because module simple.main does not read module hamcrest.core

Hm... even using only JUnit, I get an error... are you sure this plugin supports running JUnit tests?

I can only run JUnit tests when I add this to the build file:

test {
    doFirst {
        jvmArgs += [
                '--add-exports', "simple.main/example=junit",
        ]
    }
}

Interestingly, I was able to run my original Hamcrest test with adding this:

test {
    doFirst {
        jvmArgs += [
                '--add-exports', "simple.main/example=junit",
                '--add-reads', "simple.main=hamcrest.core",
        ]
    }
}

Maybe you could generate these --add-exports and --add-reads automatically?
