How to run scala specs 2 in eclipse

Question

How to run scala specs 2 in eclipse (scala-ide)?

My steps were:

sbt eclipse - generate eclipse project from existing source

eclise: import project - open project in eclipse ide

Put break-point in my SPECS 2 test (class MyTest extends Specification { ... )

Try to run test ...? (usually I do it in IntelliJ IDEA.. but today going to check how eclipse works with debug in scala..)

At the moment, you can use a little hack. If you annotate your Specs2 class as follows:

@RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner])

With older versions of specs2, this should be:

@RunWith(classOf[JUnitSuiteRunner])

The Scala IDE can run it with the JUnit runner simply through the popup menu (see the details here).

I'm working on a Specs2 plug-in for the Scala IDE (well, unfortunately I haven't really found time for it for a while, but it's still on my list).

It has a working version for the previous version of the Scala IDE, it is a bit difficult to set it up but works. See the details here: http://rlegendi.github.io/specs2-runner/

It seems to be @RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner]) now – Rodney Gitzel Oct 17 '13 at 00:57
Is there anyway to declare a super-trait with the @RunWith annotation so you don't have to put the annotation at the top of all your classes? – Ricardo Gladwell Feb 11 '14 at 17:31
IIRC there was an issue with that and I wasn't able to go that road (but that was 2 years ago). – rlegendi Feb 12 '14 at 08:22
FWIW scala-ide.org has a good run down: http://scala-ide.org/docs/current-user-doc/testingframeworks/index.html – Matthew Fellows Feb 23 '14 at 12:49

I had to make sure the build.sbt file included the following information:

scalacOptions in Test ++= Seq("-Yrangepos")
"org.specs2" %% "specs2-core" % "3.6.5" % "test",
"org.specs2" %% "specs2-junit" % "3.6.5" % "test",
