Moved issue to the plugin repo.

What is the progress on this issue? It would be very handy to not manually run tests each time there is a change.

Has this feature request been abandoned?

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2020.2 with kotest-intellij-plugin 1.1.16-IC-2020.1 and it does not work for me.

Is there any progress on this?

Tried it out today in Ultimate 2020.3.2.

The auto-test button actually works on my machine, at least for maven and gradle projects.

There is a slight problem when using Gradle for all build actions instead of IDEA (File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle). For some reasons, my project is constantly rebuild which triggers the auto-testing feature.

I don't think this is a bug in the plugin. For my taste, the auto-test functionality for Java Test runners needs some improvement and is unfortunately nowhere as sophisticated as for example with the --watch option from Jest/Mocha. I usually don't activate it but re-run my tests by pressing Ctrl+F5.

For people who are struggling with it:

• Do you really run the tests with the Kotest Test runner (instead of say, gradle?)
• Did you activate the Build Project automatically setting (File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler)? Without this the auto test toggle will only work after building the project manually (Ctrl+F9 on Linux/Windows which I seldomly use, but might be helpful for testing if auto-test actually works)
• In newer IDEA versions (>2018.x I believe) build automatically is only triggered if the IDE main window loses focus or you press Save (Ctrl+S) manually.
• The project won't build automatically when the application is currently running/under the debugger unless specifically activated in the IDEA registry

There are some interesting options dealing with automake that are hidden in the IDEA Registry (Ctrl+Shift+A) you might also look at
