Gradle `esplugin` introducing the dependency `org.elasticsearch.test.framework` requires `RandomizedRunner` to run tests(both Unit Tests and Integration Tests). In comparison, Maven doesn't introduce `org.elasticsearch.test.framework` . Therefore, it doesn't required requires `RandomizedRunner` to run tests. I've managed to migrate the build system of my ES plugin from Maven to Gradle, but I don't want to specify `RandomizedRunner` in my tests. I suppose that the tests will run without `RandomizedRunner` if `org.elasticsearch.test.framework` can be excluded from the classpath. Anyone knows an approach to exclude `org.elasticsearch.test.framework` from Gradle `esplugin` ? ---
