Play Framework (2.1.3) doesn't run any tests

Question

I have 4 test classes with an average of two test functions each. The first test is below and must be correct (its from Play's tutorial).

public class ApplicationTest {

    @Test 
    public void simpleCheck() {
        int a = 1 + 1;
        assertThat(a).isEqualTo(2);
    }

}

The other ones are custom made and have a @Before setup, like this:

public class UserTest extends WithApplication {

@Before
public void setUp() {
    start(fakeApplication(inMemoryDatabase()));
}

// creation and retrieval of user
@Test
public void createAndRetrieveUser() {
    new User("[email protected]", "Bob", "secret").save();

    User bob = User.find.where().eq("email", "[email protected]").findUnique();

    assertNotNull(bob);                 // successfully retrieved
    assertEquals("Bob", bob.getName()); // correct user retrieved
}
}

Now when I run play test it finishes a lot quicker and doesn't execute any test.

Why is this? What can I do? I recently updated from play 2.1.2 to 2.1.3. I updated all references and the project is working fine, except the tests. I also looked at this question, but it can't be that, since I didn't change my tests, so they are well written, it's just their execution that is not working.

It's a known issue of Play 2.1.3. Meanwhile there is a workaround. Add the following into Build.scala file in the val main function:

val main = play.Project(appName, appVersion, appDependencies).settings(
  // Add your own project settings here      
  testOptions in Test ~= { args =>
    for {
      arg <- args
      val ta: Tests.Argument = arg.asInstanceOf[Tests.Argument]
      val newArg = if(ta.framework == Some(TestFrameworks.JUnit)) ta.copy(args = List.empty[String]) else ta
    } yield newArg
  }
)
