I'm just getting into the source code from elastic search. However, I can not seem to be able to run the test suite. This is one example of the command I ran. I tried some different classes or methods but all of them gave the same result.

```
./gradlew test "-Dtests.class=org.elasticsearch.index.query.MultiMatchQueryBuilderTests"

```

This is a typical result

```

I'm probably missing something obvious, but I've been trying to get the project up and running for quite some time now.

By running `test` from the root directory, you are telling gradle to run all test tasks, yet you want to run a single suite that is run in a single test task. You either need to cd into the subproject where the test exists, or use the explicit gradle task like `:server:test`.

Thank you! Just as you explained

```
./gradlew :server:test "-Dtests.class=org.elasticsearch.index.query.MultiMatchQueryBuilderTests"

```

gave the expected output, as did

```
cd server
../gradlew test "-Dtests.class=org.elasticsearch.index.query.MultiMatchQueryBuilderTests"
```
