Testing in leiningen

Question

I am writing a small Clojure project using leiningen with the following directory structure:

project
+ src
  + org/example/project/core.clj
+ test
  + org/example/project/core.clj

When I run lein test, it reports that it ran 0 tests with 0 failures, but I purposely put a test designed to fail in the test/.../core.clj file.

I added the line :test-path test to my project.clj file and when I re-ran, got the error:

I am running Clojure 1.2 and the latest lein (1.3.1).

Looks like a problem with either clojure.core or the lein code.

Had the same issue. After a while I noticed that leins default path to tests are:

test/{project-name}/test/{file-under-test}.clj
                    ^^^^

Note an extra test directory in the path.
