When building with Gradle a generic Java application, stdout and stderr of the tests being executed will be shown at the console if the following are configured:

• Set testLogging.showStandardStreams of the Java plugin Test task, as shown here: Show stdout and stderr of the Test JVM on the Console.
• Make sure that a log4j slf4j binding is in the test classpath:

dependencies {
    implementation "org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.23"
    implementation "org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.7.23"
}

• Place a log4j.xml configuration in src/test/resources.
