I set my project up to run with Robolectric and the the gradle-android-test-plugin. This all works fine and first tests are running and failing.

If a test fails this will also fail the gradle build. Is there a way to just let the build go on and write down the failing tests for evaluation in a later step?

The plan is to integrate the testing in a continuous integration server and there the build should only be unstable if a test fails.

Hmm. Well you have two options I think. One is to use

testTask.ignoreFailures = true

to not let the task fail when a test fails.

Another approach would be to run your gradle command with '--continue'. This will execute as many tasks as possible and list the failed tasks at the end and not stop after the first task has failed.
