my unit tests are not being run

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Everytime I try to run my build, the python code (all of it, both class and test class) gets compiled. I know this because if I introduce a syntax error into either the class or the test, the build will fail with a compile error. My "production" python classes are stored in src/main/python and my test classes are in src/test/python (they will fail the build if there is an error on a python file in src/test/python) Here is where everything goes sideways: **NO MATTER WHERE I PUT THE PYTHON TEST SOURCE, PYGRADLE NEVER RUNS MY TESTS** . I always get the following:
============================= test session starts ==============================
platform darwin -- Python 2.7.10, pytest-2.9.1, py-1.4.29, pluggy-0.3.1

Here is my build.gradle:
`plugins {

}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'jacoco'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
jar {

}
}

repositories {
mavenCentral()
pyGradlePyPi()
maven {

}

}

dependencies {

}

test {
systemProperties 'property': 'value'
}

python {
// testDir = file('src/test/python')
}
`

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am running out of time on this project!

Start with build.gradle, especially the python configuration, dependency declarations, and test task, then inspect the src/main/python and src/test/python layouts. Run the build and review the pytest output showing zero collected items. Done means the configured Python tests are discovered and executed during the build.
