Running tests on Intellij: Class not found

Question

I'm evaluating IntelliJ (13.0.2 133.696) and cannot get jUnit tests to run from within the IDE.

My project is a multi module gradle project and uses scala.

Test class is located under src/test/scala/xxx/xxxxx/xxx/xxxx/xxxxx and everytime i try to run from IDE i get the same error:

Class not found: "xxx.xxxxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxxx.AccountRepositoryTest" 

Test class is nothing fancy, simple jUnit test:

@RunWith(classOf[SpringJUnit4ClassRunner]) @ContextConfiguration(classes = Array(classOf[DataConfig], classOf[SettingsConfig])) class AccountRepositoryTest extends AssertionsForJUnit { 

I've found a related question Cannot run Junit tests from IDEA 13.0 IDE for imported gradle projects , but the provided fix (upgrade to 13.0.2) does not work.

I've even tried upgrading to the latest EAP, still the same issue.

Answer 1

I looked through some of these answers, fussed with Project Settings, tried a few things, etc. and nothing worked. (Full disclosure: I'm not trying to juggle Gradle here; I'm just using Maven, but I don't see what this has to do with Gradle.)

I'm using IDEA 14.

What I found to work, because it just simply seemed IntelliJ had lost its way, was this:

$ rm -rf .idea project-name.iml 

Then relaunched IntelliJ and did File -> Open -> navigate to the root of my project, etc.--in short, just recreated my project.

IntelliJ got over it. I may have messed something up originally in this project as I had done plenty of refactoring both package- and class names and I had even changed the project name. (It was probably my fault it happened.)
