Play Framework 2 running JUnit tests in Intellij IDEA

I use Play Framework 2.0.4 and Java + IntelliJ IDEA.

Try to launch tests from IDEA, and having error like this:

Class not found: "models.SoftwareTest"

Here is the test itself.

package models;

    public class SoftwareTest {

        @Test
        public void findById() {
            running(fakeApplication(), new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    Software software1 = Software.find.byId(1L);
                    assertThat(software1.name).isEqualTo("Soft1");
                    assertThat(software1.description).isEqualTo("Description1");
                }
            });
        }
    }

Anyone?

P.S. I've already cleaned all project/ivy files, having switched from play 2.0.4 to 2.1 RC1 and back.. it does not help. But it was working one day in the past. And I found a lot of records about this in Google, but could not find the answer yet.

Also I've checked out this article (related to Ebean and testing):

http://blog.matthieuguillermin.fr/2012/03/unit-testing-tricks-for-play-2-0-and-ebean/

But the problem I have now it's different one. But just share this link here, it could help to reproduce the problem.

What did the trick for me was to use this sbt plugin : https://github.com/mpeltonen/sbt-idea. Using :

sbt gen-idea

Instead of :

play idea

Sven's link (http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-5152) led me to the answer to compile / run unit tests in Intellij 12 with Play framework 2.1.1 [sorry, don't have Play 1.x installed anymore].

From the menu bar [OSX -- likely similar for other platforms] navigate to: IntelliJ -> Preferences -> Compiler

Uncheck the "use external build" and voila, my unit tests were able to run.

I'm using play 1.2.5 with Intellii IDEA 12.0.1 and also get this error (followed step by step the play doc to create the project files).

I found this issue in the tracking system.
