[SOLVED] SBT can't find tests to run nor compile

SBT can't find tests to run nor compile

As the title says, I've got an sbt project with one module (for now), but the test:compile does not catch any syntax errors (and test doesn't find any tests to run). The way I understand it, an sbt project comes setup with src/main, and src/test (src/it needs to be configured). I'm a bit of an amateur with SBT, but I'll try to give all the relevant info:

Structure:

Root
  build.sbt
  mymodule
    build.sbt
    src
      main
        scala
      test
        scala

Root build.sbt (I reckon these configs were unecessary but I'm desperate):

lazy val `mymodule` = (project in file("mymodule"))
  .configs(Test)
  .settings(scalaSource in Test := baseDirectory.value / "test")

MyModule build.sbt is basically just a list of libraryDependencies (unless one of them is the problem, not sure) like this:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "org.mockito" % "mockito-all" % "1.9.5" % "test",
  "org.scalamock" %% "scalamock-core" % scalaMockVersion % "test",
  "org.scalamock" %% "scalamock-scalatest-support" % scalaMockVersion % "test",
  "org.codehaus.janino" % "janino" % "2.7.8",
  "org.http4s" %% "http4s-dsl" % "0.11.2",
  "org.http4s" %% "http4s-blaze-server" % "0.11.2",
  "junit" % "junit" % "4.8.1" % "test" // Here because of a bug in Ivy
)

Let me know what else I can do to help, it's really racking my brain.

Solution

With line

scalaSource in Test := baseDirectory.value / "test"

you have configured sbt to look up test sources at location Root/mymodule/test (rather than at the default location <base>/src/test/scala).

So, your options are either (i) to put your tests within Root/mymodule/test, (ii) or to remove that configuration line, leaving tests in their default location.
