Play 2.5: I can run test by Intelij IDEA but not with ./activator

Question

I run fake server for batch of functional tests, fill database with evolutions. This idea works well to test in IntelijIdea, but I cannot configure CI because activator test fails...

./activator -Dconfig.resource=env_test.conf testOnly com.api.test.FunctionalTestsSuite

I have separated files with configs for dev, prod and test mode. Tests use own database to miss possibility to hurt production server(I don't use inmemory database)....

Answer 1

Okay. activator just ignores -Dconfig.resource=env_test.conf for test plugin. When I use application.conf for test purposes (which is default config file) than it works. For application running it works:

./activator -Dconfig.resource=env_dev.conf run

But it's IntelijIdea runs test well with defiled -Dconfig.resource=env_test.conf. It's just funny:)
