I have a multi-module build, and would like to run tests for different sub-projects independently.
Is there a way to do this in sbt, e.g. if my multi-project build has a core and commons projects, I'd like to only run test in the commons project.
Run sbt commons/test. See detailed explanation in Scopes.
You may also use the combination of two commands from sbt - changing the current project using project and executing test afterwards.
sbt "project commons" test
You can also use
sbt "; project commons; test"
