How to run all Specs2 tests under IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

In my Scala project, my Specs2 tests are structured as follows:

src/test/scala
-> my.package
---> my.package.sub1
------> SomeTest1
------> SomeTest2
---> my.package.sub2
------> SomeTest3

I'm using SBT to build all of this, and I can use sbt test to run all tests in my package.

I'd like to use IntelliJ IDEA's built-in Specs2 run configuration support. I point it to use all tests in my.package.

Running this yields the error message Error running <run config name>: Not found suite class. It cannot find Specs2 test suites. IDEA runs my tests if I point it to a subpackage.

How do I configure IDEA to look in all packages and run all the test suites it finds?

Answer 1

I've managed to run all my Specs2 tests in IDEA 13.1.4 and the more recent 14.0.1 using All in package for Test kind and In whole project or In single module for Search for tests. I left Test Package field empty.

I had to create this configuration manually.

You may want to use Ctrl+Shift+F10 to create a Specs2 configuration and then modify it accordingly.
