Run only tagged test in sbt custom test task

I have an sbt subproject that includes end to end tests. These are run as e2e:test. I have defined my config as I have defined a tag in the same subproject. object HealthCheckTest extends Tag("HealthCheckTest")

I am tagging some of my end to end tests with HealthCheckTest as follows:

it("should be able to verify the data", HealthCheckTest)

I want to run only the health check tests from command line. I am trying to do this via:

sbt 'project e2e' e2e:testOnly -- -n HealthCheckTest

but this leads to all of the e2e tests being run. I have tried giving the full path to the tag (com.s.p.e2etests.HealthCheckTest), but that does not work either.

Occasionally I get warnings about -- and - being deprecated; however, all documentation online says to use this syntax including scalatest docs.

How can I run just my tagged e2e tests?

I have also tried to create a separate task for health check tests but could only figure out how to filter based on test class name, not by tag.

The commandline you posted was missing quotes. Try it like this:

sbt 'project e2e' 'testOnly -- -n HealthCheckTest'

The sbt executable treats each argument as a full line to run in the sbt console, so you must place quotes around each full line.

Note that while this won't run the test cases, it will still instantiate test class and print out test case names.
