I had enough colleagues unable to type exactly what they asked me into whatever search engine they preferred to accept your statement. If you don't know how to use a search engine go ask for another job.

"Hey pancake, how do I run all tests via gradle?"

Open your browser, head to Google and type "run all tests in gradle"

"Oh, nice. Thank you for your help!"

And the next day the game starts all over again.

Science-based, 100% dragon MMO or gtfo.
