Spec\acceptance test with ScalaTest+Gradle

[bzz]

This is an experiment on solving #1 using Gradle+Ivy+ScalaTest for build\deps mngt\Tests

• setup infra: gradle wrapper, project structure, build script, test wrapper
• make tests fail
• speed-up: turn-off everything, except test (i.e Java\Scala compilation)
• propagate URL as an argument to test

Pre-requests:

1. JRE installed

How to run:

• ./test_spec (AKA cd /spec && ./gradlew test)

Pros:

• only 1 pre-reuqest: jvm (binary packages exist for most OS)
• flexible test style

Cons:

• Ugly dir structure hidden in /spec now
• less elegant then https://github.com/nytlabs/hive/blob/master/spec/
• 5 sec runtime

Somehow, I already feel embarrassment on how ugly this look like on practice...
@felizbear could you give it a try (and not puke)?

This definitely can be improved, the only question is "does it worth an effort"?
I would prefer having more PRs like that (differetn stacks) before putting more effort on this one..

It took 55 seconds to build on the first run, around half of the time on consecutive runs. Curiously, it does not indicate whether tests passed or not. I modified one test to be assert(Set.empty.size == 1), however got no visual feedback that the test have failed. Am I doing something wrong?

This is time equivalent to brew install npm && npm install && npm test all together (for the first run) - so I'm pretty sure it at least
the same as node one.

Thanks for trying, now I'm willing to enhance this a little bit more, after
Jasmin example.
