Document running individual test methods about junit-interface HOT 7 CLOSED

@szeiger thanks!! that's been driving me crazy for almost a year now. So glad to finally know how to do it!

Should we update the README? It suggests that you should use --tests= but that doesn't seem to be the case?

[myplayproj] $ testOnly -- --tests=com.*
[info] Passed: Total 302, Failed 0, Errors 0, Passed 0, Skipped 302
[success] Total time: 4 s, completed Jan 8, 2014 11:39:54 AM

from junit-interface.

I'm getting Argument unrecognized by ScalaTest's Runner: *pattern when invoking like:

sbt test-only -- *pattern

Also, passing a single -q seems to effectively suppress a lot of output but when I do:

-q *pattern I get this error:

Discovery suffixes (-q) is not supported when running ScalaTest from sbt; Please use sbt's test-only or test filter instead

Seems like scalatest is involved here somehow although my build.sbt doesn't mention it and only imports this junit-interface for testing.

i think we can close this bug in favor of sbt/sbt#911. support is scheduled in sbt for 0.13.2. once it's supported in sbt, i don't think we'll need to do anything here except to make sure we use the new test-interface. see https://github.com/szeiger/junit-interface/pull/32

junit-interface can already do this. If you give it a pattern for matching the tests to run, this is applied to the whole test name (as printed to the log), including method name and further qualifiers.

I can't figure out how to do this. Could you give an example or do you see what I'm doing wrong?

Here's how I tried to run it to run any tests starting with the package name "com"

[myplayproj] $ test -- --tests=com.*
[error] Expected ID character
[error] Not a valid command: test (similar: set, last, exit)
[error] Expected project ID
[error] Expected configuration
[error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)
[error] Expected key
[error] Expected '::'
[error] Expected end of input.
[error] test -- --tests=com.*
[error]     ^

from junit-interface.

This should do the trick:

test-only -- com*

"test" doesn't pass any args to the test interface, you have to use "test-only"
