Running into a new problem trying to run some unit tests with Kotlin. I’m making a change to a class in my main code set and when i rerun the test, it is not detecting the changes and is giving me the same error I had before the change. Even adding a println just before that line and now the error points to the printlin.

I’m running the tests in IntelliJ. Anyone else run into this?

I just restarted IntelliJ to be sure it’s not just a glitch but alas it is still happening

[dumptruckman]

It’s like IntelliJ isn’t bothering to recompile the kotlin files

[ribesg]

Something’s cached and not being recompiled

[Andreas Sinz]

Invalidate Caches and restart Intellij from the "Files" Menu

[dumptruckman]

Alright, I’ve done that and it is still not recognizing the changes.

[dumptruckman]

I tried deleting the problematic .class file and now it’s not even bothering to recompile it for the test so I’m getting NoClassDefFoundError

[dumptruckman]

I deleted the target dir and tried rerunning the test. It looks like it is not compiling the main src without running mvn compile manually.

[dumptruckman]

Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Really at a loss here.

Do you have "Build" in the "Before launch" list of your run configuration?

This always worked for me, but it is still a workaround if changes in your test-code are not picked up:

Instead of picking a test class or test package pick a test method (right click on one of your test-methods and hit run-test or debug-test). This seems to always compile the test-sources.

Note that I had issues with changes in my test-sources. I never had issues with changes in my actual/main sources. These changes were always picked up when running the test(s) again.

[dumptruckman]

@hho yes

[dumptruckman]

@streetsofboston just tried that to no avail

[hho]

Have you tried reimporting your Maven projects? Maybe some paths are wrong?

[dumptruckman]

Yeah, I’ve tried that

[dumptruckman]

I guess my IntelliJ is just freaking out… Done a few things now and all of a sudden it has unmarked all of the src/main/java directories as source roots

[dumptruckman]

Seemed to be the result of the last invalidate&restart

[dumptruckman]

Oddly it wasn’t all of them… just most
