When I upgraded IntelliJ 2019.1 to 2019.2 I found that the default setting for the Gradle runner was set to 'Gradle' which meant that my unit tests didn't run properly when I right-clicked on a test and selected 'Run' - they just terminated with no results. I had to change the "Run tests using:" option to IntelliJ IDEA
