Per-configuration classpath dependencies doesn't work with test->test in SBT?

I've got a multi-project build with scalania main project as well as exercises and answers (sub)projects.

The scalania project is hosted on GitHub.

I'm trying to set up a SBT project configuration where the test classes are part of the exercises project while the answers project provides the solutions.

I read Per-configuration classpath dependencies in the official documentation of SBT and ended up with the following configuration in the scalania main project:

lazy val exercises = project

lazy val answers = project.dependsOn(exercises % "test->test")

It doesn't seem to work and upon test execution I used to get:

> project answers
[info] Set current project to scalania-answers (in build file:/Users/jacek/oss/scalania/)
> test
[info] Passed: Total 0, Failed 0, Errors 0, Passed 0
[info] No tests to run for answers/test:test
[success] Total time: 1 s, completed Oct 27, 2013 1:06:51 AM

It was until I changed answers/build.sbt to the following:

scalaSource in Test := (scalaSource in LocalProject("exercises") in Test).value

It works fine now.

What's wrong with using project.dependsOn(exercises % "test->test") only? Am I missing something in the build configuration?

Declaring a dependency on tests in another project just makes the classpath available. Running its tests doesn't happen by default because otherwise tests would run multiple times in the common situation of just reusing code.

To run tests in another project, add the discovered tests from the other project to those for the current project:

definedTests in Test := 
   (definedTests in Test).value ++
   (definedTests in exercises in Test).value
