Problems running tests directly from Intellij when using Kotlin

[leeturner]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone here is building their Micronaut projects using Intellij ? I have just started playing around with Micronaut so I am sure I am missing something obvious but I don't seem to be able to get my tests to run directly from inside IntelliJ.

I thought it could be something specific to my project so to remove any doubt I have just pushed a brand new project direct from Micronaut Launch to my github account. I haven’t changed any of the mvn settings or added any micronaut features or any code of my own. I run mvn test and it builds and runs the generated test fine. If I run a mvn clean and enable annotation processing in the Intellij settings I can’t run the test and get the error:

org.junit.jupiter.engine.execution.ConditionEvaluationException: Failed to evaluate condition [io.micronaut.test.extensions.junit5.MicronautJunit5Extension]: @MicronautTest used on test but no bean definition for the test present. This error indicates a misconfigured build or IDE. Please add the 'micronaut-inject-java' annotation processor to your test processor path (for Java this is the testAnnotationProcessor scope, for Kotlin kaptTest and for Groovy testCompile). See the documentation for reference: https://micronaut-projects.github.io/micronaut-test/latest/guide/

I followed the instructions here to enable annotation processing - https://docs.micronaut.io/latest/guide/index.html#ideSetup

If I run man test to compile the project and run the test, I can then successfully run the test from inside Intellij. I am using java 17 and kotlin:

<jdk.version>17</jdk.version>
<release.version>17</release.version>
<micronaut.version>3.5.1</micronaut.version>
<micronaut.runtime>netty</micronaut.runtime>
<kotlinVersion>1.6.10</kotlinVersion>

I am sure I am missing something obvious but I don't know what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

I have just tried the same as above - downloaded a brand new project direct from Micronaut Launch and opened it up in Intellij. I enabled annotation processing and ran the test and it all worked fine. The only difference between these two projects was that this time I selected java as the language instead of kotlin

I wonder what it is about the kotlin project that means IntelliJ isn't processing the annotations correctly ?

After more searching I have also found this - #1936

Which lead me to this - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-15040

Sorry for the noise. I guess this is still an issue with the kotlin IntelliJ build system ?

Still an issue

Amazing to think that the ticket has been open for 6 years. Looks like I'll switch back to Java for now.

I did have some luck by making IntelliJ delegate to maven for build/run operations but it really slows down the flow a little.
