I am trying to use IntelliJ with a play framework 2.11 application.
I installed the Play Framework 2 plugin and the Scala plugin for IntelliJ.
I created a Play application. I have been struggling writing and running Specs 2 tests in IntelliJ. My run config says to run "make" first when running the Specs 2 test, however it doesn't look like my test classes are being generated. Keeps on telling me that it could not find the specification. When I look on the file system, there is no code in target/test-classes, the directory is empty. Further, it seems to take a LONG time to do the build, at least compared to running the Play console.
I wanted to see how people are using Play with IntelliJ. Do you just use IntelliJ as an editor, and run everything through the Play console?
Is there a way whereby you can run your Application tests in IntelliJ (getting your test classes to run)?
I have never had any problem running the Play console and running ~test-only test=xxx.Spec. It has typically been rather fast.
Here is the exception I am getting in IntelliJ when I try to run my Specs2 tests:
