In build.sbt
you can specify an alternate scalastyle config file for test scope using this:
(scalastyleConfig in Test) := baseDirectory.value / "scalastyle-test-config.xml"
This is useful when you want to loosen the checks in Test
scope.
Unfortunately, IntelliJ ignores this setting and looks for the file in it's default location.
Is there a way to fix this?
This is currently not possible, the locations are hard-coded. I've created an issue for you: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-12086
