    testLogging {

        events "PASSED", "STARTED", "FAILED", "SKIPPED"

    }

}

2. Extra

Review a Gradle testLogging example from the official documentation

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'

test {

    testLogging {

        // set options for log level LIFECYCLE

        events "failed"

        exceptionFormat "short"

        // set options for log level DEBUG

        debug {

            events "started", "skipped", "failed"

            exceptionFormat "full"

        }

        // remove standard output/error logging from --info builds

        // by assigning only 'failed' and 'skipped' events

        info.events = ["failed", "skipped"]

    }

}
