Asynchronous service calls in groovy tests

Hi all,

I'm writing service tests, in the same way as what's done in 
ProductPromoCondTests.groovy. I load same data, then start a service 
using dispatcher.runSync, and finally, check my database state.

I would like to be able to test services that are launched with runAsync 
in my codebase. For now I can only check that the service is scheduled 
(checking JobSandbox), but I guess that my test ends before the async 
service is started (and I'm not even sure how to wait for a spawn thread 
in my test).

I tried to replace "runAsync" calls by "runSync" using Mockito's spy() 
and doAnswer, but I could not achieve what I need (I'm certainly missing 
something here).

Has anyone ever encountered this need and could share a solution ?

Beside this, I would like to be able to run on specific test with CLI. 
For now I launch

./gradlew 'ofbiz -t component=stock -t suitename=stockTests -t 
case=stockTests'

...which runs all the tests in StockTests.groovy class. Is it possible 
to update this command to run only one test in this class ?

Thank you

I forgot to mention that the async service I want to test is launched 
with a EECA, upon an entity creation, with mode="async".
