Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the WVUP template repository using Gradle 8.12 and the reported gradle test --tests "TestClass.testMethod" command. Compare the local IntelliJ result with the GitHub Classroom autograder result for the Lesson 1: Blackjack Card and Deck assignment; done means deliberately failing tests are reported as failed rather than passing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In testing a new assignment I deliberately uploaded code that should fail half of the unit tests. The autograder still marked everything as succeeding. Local runs through IntelliJ correctly show these tests not passing.

I am using gradle to run the tests (ver. 8.12) with the command gradle test --tests "TestClass.testMethod" which worked previously.
The template repository is WVUP/cs122objectorientedprogramming-lesson-1-blackjack-card-and-deck-CS122BlackjackCardAndDeck
The GH Classroom assignment is Classrooms->CS122ObjectOrientedProgramming->Lesson 1: Blackjack Card and Deck
