Is there a way to build tests with SBT without running them?
My own use case is to run static analysis on the test code by using a scalac plugin. Another possible use case is to run some or all of the test code using a separate runner than the one built into SBT.
Ideally there would be a solution to this problem that applies to any SBT project. For example, Maven has a test-compile command that can be used just to compile the tests without running them. It would be great if SBT had the same thing.
Less ideal, but still very helpful, would be solutions that involve modifying the project's build files.

The following commands will make sbt watch for source changes in the Test and Compile (default) configurations respectively and re-run the compile command. Note that because Test / compile depends on Compile / compile , source changes in the main source directory will trigger recompilation of the test sources.
sbt shell has a command prompt (with tab completion and history!). To compile again, press up arrow and then enter. To run your program, type run . To leave sbt shell, type exit or use Ctrl+D (Unix) or Ctrl+Z (Windows).
Just use the test:compile command.

test:compile works for compiling your unit tests.
To compile integration tests you can use it:compile.
Another hint to continuously compile on every file change: ~test:compile
