Toggle auto-test in debugger has no effect?
Answered
HI,
I'm using the community edition (2016.3.2 64 bit). After I ran a test, I clicked the "Toggle auto-test" button in the debugger: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2016.3/icon_toggleAutoTest.png
However, that doesn't seem to have any effect. I have changed the tests, I have changed the class under test, I have force-saved my files using Ctrl+S - the tests aren't rerun. What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Christian

Test will auto launch after you build the project after introducing the change. For it to happen automatically, enable Build Project Automatically option in File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler settings.
Will that trigger a mvn build in maven projects?
What do you mean should trigger mvn build? Please check Configuring Triggers for Maven Goals
A visual step on what @andrey said.
For run the unit test automatically, toggle the auto-test button:
Go to: File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler
And check the option "Build project automatically".
Do you have an idea how this could be accomplished in combination with Scala Plugin? (in the meanwhile I run in the console: $ sbt "~testOnly myRootPackage.*" )
Hartmut There should be no difference with java: combination of Build Project Automatically and Toggle auto-test.
