WebStorm run all dart unit tests

Question

In WebStorm 11 I want to create a run configuration which runs all dart tests in my project.

However there is no option to do this in the "Dart Test" configuration template. The only options are:

• Test Kind: All in file, Test group, single test
• Test file: must point to a .dart file, otherwise I get "Dart file is not found"
• VM Options (text input)

If I point WebStorm to a single test file this command gets executed in the test window:

C:\path\to\dart\bin\dart.exe --ignore-unrecognized-flags --checked --trace_service_pause_events file:\\\C:\path\to\dart\bin\snapshots\pub.dart.snapshot run test:test -r json C:/path/to/project/test/someclass_test.dart

I don't want to create a run configuration for every unit test class I write, there must be a better way.

Currently I prefer to navigate to the project directory and just run

pub run test:test

This runs all tests which live in files ending with _test.dart which is perfectly what I want. More info here: https://github.com/dart-lang/test#running-tests

Is there no such option in WebStorm for dart developers?

Answer 1

Accordingly to WEB-14747 ticket this functionality is already implemented for the next major version.

You can try latest EAP build of WebStorm v12 here.

Answer 2

I guess that's currently not supported.

The feature to run tests this way is quite new anyway.

If you think this feature is important, lease create a feature request in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/WEB
