sbt test ends with No tests to run for test:test under Jenkins

Question

As a former Java developer who is used to using Jenkins to launch JUnit tests every time a build is performed, I would love to get my Specs to run in a similar manner.

When running sbt test in the command line, the test cases that I have set up run just fine. Below is the output from the test run:

    [info] MySqlStoreSpec
    [info] 
    [info] MySqlStore Spec should
    [info] + getUserIdFromEmail
    [info] + getUserUserProperties
    [info] + getUserHashFromEmail
    [info] + md5
    [info] + getUserContextFromStripeId
    [info] 
    [info] 
    [info] Total for specification MySqlStoreSpec
    [info] Finished in 24 ms
    [info] 5 examples, 0 failure, 0 error

When I run the build in Jenkins, I get the following message:

    [info] No tests to run for test:test

I suspect that the issue with not kicking off the tests has to do with my sbt setup in Jenkins. In the configuration for the build, I am using sbt launcher 0.12.4 and actions test. Does anyone have any experience with getting specs2 to run on Jenkins?

Turns out the issue was the build being performed on the wrong directory. Once the project was checked out from git, it needed to move into a subdirectory to get to the project files. It seems that SBT reports a successful run even if it finds no project files.
