ScalaTest on sbt not running any tests

Question

I am trying to run my tests with: sbt and then test.

My build.sbt looks like this

lazy val scalatest =  \"org.scalatest\" % \"scalatest_2.11\" % \"2.         


        

Answer 1

The directory structure isn't the correct convention for sbt to find ExampleSpec.scala by default.

├── built.sbt
├── src
│   └── test
│       └── scala
│           ├── ExampleSpec.scala

Change it to the structure above and run sbt test in the top level directory and it should work. Likewise, scala source would go in src/main/scala and would get compiled.
