I'm trying to run a single test class in a Java Play project but fails misserably.
If I try to run
testOnly my.app.TheClassTest
from within sbt (as described in JavaTest and sbt test) I get this result:
[info] Passed: Total 0, Failed 0, Errors 0, Passed 0
[info] No tests to run for test:testOnly
My only suspicion is that the message "No tests to run for test:testOnly" does not include the name of the class I try to test.
If I try to run it from command line
sbt testOnly "my.app.TheClassTest"
It runs all the tests and then I get the following error:
[error] Expected ID character
[error] Not a valid command: net (similar: set, new, inspect)
[error] Expected project ID
[error] Expected configuration
[error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)
[error] Expected key
[error] Not a valid key: my (similar: test, name, assets)
[error] my.app.TheClassTest
I've tried all kinds of variations such as testOnly TheClassTest, test-only my.app.TheClassTest, test:testOnly etc. with only minor variations in result. Using testOnly within sbt I can write whatever I feel like and still always get the same response.
Running all tests work fine.
Is there at least a way to get a more
From sbt you can try to get the autocompletion for the command:
sbt:my-project> testOnly <tab>
It should display the lists of tests classes that are available. This may not work with the oldest versions of sbt.
If you see no classes, try to run test:compile before to compile your test classes.
