This is surprising behavior, especially for UI toolkit tests where there might be many reasons to want to run the tests again, even if none of that tests "inputs" have changed. This is especially bothersome when debugging an intermittent test failure. Unlike rebuilding the JavaFX runtime or the docs, where there is no need to rerun a task that was successful if none of the inputs to that task have changed, I expect gradle to run my test when I tell it to.

Updating the testing section is a good idea. Thanks. I'll do that once I integrate.

I am not aware of any other page that needs to be updated.
