How do I run Play spec tests?

Hi,
I'm working on a Play scala web application. I have a spec test, which works fine if I run it with the play console.

Is there any way to compile and run it using IntelliJ?

If I start the compile server (without any play console running) I get a class not found error after starting the spec test run config.

Should IntelliJ be able to run play spec tests without the help of the Play console?

I'm using the latest 13.1 EAP and Scala plugin.

Doing a project rebuild shows these messages:

It's possible with Play plugin. Play plugin uses "play test-compile" command for compilation (unlike Scala plugin, which uses own compiler).

I do have the play plugin installed.
So running the spec test should automatically call "play test-compile" in the background? Do I need to switch of the scala build server?

This doesn't seem to work.
