How to define custom configuration to filter ScalaTest tests in build.sbt?

Question

I already know (and have working) the ability to

• http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Testing.html
• http://code.hootsuite.com/tagged-tests-with-sbt/
• http://alvinalexander.com/scala/scalatest-mark-tests-tags-to-include-exclude-sbt

for project/Build.scala style sbt projects.

However, I do not know how (or if it is possible) to do this in a simple build.sbt project: the problem is when configs is called on the Project .

If it is possible to apply Tag filters to scalatest, how does one do it in a build.sbt ?

Note: I don't want the filter in Test , I want it in a custom Configuration . The workaround is to use test-only * -- -l SlowTest (which is kinda clunky).

It looks like one can now define a root in a build.sbt , so the above sytax is allowed

eg

lazy val root = project in file(".") settings (
          ...
) configs ( MY CONFIG GOES HERE)
