How can I determine if Grails application under testing?

I need to determine if my Grails application is currently under testing. I cannot use if (Environment.getCurrent() == Environment.TEST), because my current environment is Environment.CUSTOM with name jenkins. Is there an other way to find out if it's currently under testing?

One approach I've used is to set an environment variable by hooking into the eventTestPhaseStart GANT event. You can do this by creating a script named Events.groovy in /scripts.

<project dir>/scripts/Events.groovy:

eventTestPhaseStart = { args ->
    System.properties['grails.testPhase'] = args
}

You can use it like so to determine if the app is under testing:

if (System.properties['grails.testPhase'] != null)
    println "I'm testing!"

You can also use it to have specific behavior for a particular test phase:

if (System.properties['grails.testPhase'] == 'integration')
    println "Do something only when running integration tests."
