[play-2.5.4-java] Tests not running with activator test command

[ßìnòy S]

I have a Play Java project [ play-2.5.4-java] and I am trying to execute my Unit tests on command line. 

I can run the test using IntelliJ, but not from command line

Here's my build.sbt file

name := """miman-core"""

// Dev environment is going to use SNAPSHOT versioning

version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

lazy val `miman-core` = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayJava)

scalaVersion := "2.11.8"

routesGenerator := InjectedRoutesGenerator

I have been struggling a lot to get it to run but I'm stumped,

Can someone please help ?

Hi there,

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am currently seeing this same exact issue.

Same problem here. 

And trying one specific test "activator testOnly com.acme.MyTest" yields for me "Not a valid key: com (similar: compile, commands, scalaHome)"

[Michelle Malaski]

As an update, we figured out what was going on with ours. The tests were not compiling because our test folder was named "Test", and activator looks for "test". Apparently it is case sensitive. 

[Joo Joo]

So some clarification on the documentation is needed

On command line, executing command as shown below it will work.

$activator "test-only controllers.MySingleController"

Another way is using activator shell and then executing testOnly command

$ activator
[info] Loading project definition from /home/workspace/my-project/project
[info] Set current project to my-project (in build file:/home/workspace/my-project/my-project/)
[my-project] $ testOnly controllers.MySingleController

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that helped. Also some confusion in my case came from the setup with sub-projects - its important to have that top-level "test" folder. Also "enablePlugins(PlayJava)" on the sub-modules seems to influence, what the "test" command does.
