Cannot include/exclude Junit tests classes by Category using gradle

Given these interfaces

testclient.priority.High
testclient.priority.Low

and a junit classes annotated like this

@Category(testclient.priority.High.class)
public class MyTest {
...
}
@Category(testclient.priority.Low.class)
public class MyOtherTest {
...
}

I tried to configure an include/exclude pattern in build.gradle like this

useJUnit {
    includeCategories 'testclient.priority.High'
    excludeCategories 'testclient.priority.Low'
}

The problem is that no tests are run, at all. How is the exact syntax to achieve that? I am using gradle 2.14.1 and invoke the tests by "clean build".

I found the problem myself. I missed the fact that

High extends Low

so the exclusion correctly affected all annotated tests. The extension is intended and the correct pattern in build.gradle would simply be:

useJUnit {
    includeCategories 'testclient.priority.High'
}

In fact there are five priority levels and the extension dependency is an easy way to configure something like "run everything of this level or higher".

This works for me with Gradle 2.12. I don't know what is different between our respective environments, but I have placed my solution on GitHub for reference.

Note that I have placed FastTest.java and SlowTest.java in the src/test/java/net/codetojoy folder, where the tests reside.
