Hi all, I am trying to create a kotlin Multiplatform library which can later convert into java and javascript using IDEA 2019.3, kotlin 1.3 . I created a simple junit (4) test class and configured it as follows. ```auto package sample; import org.junit.Test; public class Tests { @Test public void test1(){ System.out.println("here"); } } ``` ![Screenshot 2020-01-08 at 16.25.48](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/kotlinlang/original/2X/6/6c9ece7e6eb2d1083afcf2e988820a4bb22bba56.png) But while running, it’s failing with Process finished with exit code 1 Class not found: “sample.DummyTest” I could not figure out what am I doing wrong. Please advice. ---

Do your tests run on the CLI through Gradle? If so, read on. In addition to all the things found in the docs, I [discovered](https://github.com/reitzig/kotlin-introduction/blob/master/build.gradle.kts) that – even for JVM-only projects! – two dependencies are needed for IDEA to run the tests: ```kotlin dependencies { implementation(kotlin("stdlib")) compileOnly("org.jetbrains", "annotations", "18.0.0") testImplementation(kotlin("test-junit5")) testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.jupiter", "junit-jupiter-engine", "5.5.2") // IDEA needs those: testCompileOnly("org.junit.jupiter", "junit-jupiter-api", "5.5.2") testCompileOnly("org.junit.jupiter", "junit-jupiter-params", "5.5.2") } ``` That said, I _think_ I observed no tests being found; your problem _seems_ to be different. If so, my bad. ---

Thanks for the reply. I was trying to running it via IDEA itself. Right click on a test → then Run TestName… ---

Try to delete the created Junit run configuration and create a Gradle one (build and run tests using Gradle in “File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle”). Does this help? ---

Thanks for the reply. But it did not help. I deleted the created Junit run configuration and created a Gradle one. Then I rightClick on jvm class and pressed run. But it failed with following exception. Just to note my tests are still annotated with junit. ``` FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':jvmTest'. > No tests found for given includes: [mypackage.TestSample](filter.includeTestsMatching) ``` ---

If you have a multi-module MPP project, it’s probably this bug: [https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-35038](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-35038). Please check the generated run configuration, it might be missing the correct Gradle project value as described in the issue. This is only a problem when running tests from gutter, ie. running `jvmTest` task from the Gradle tool window in IDEA should work fine. ---

@Alexey.Belkov as far as I understood [https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-35038?\_ga=2.238248132.510151518.1578909478-1531068909.1578050245](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-35038?_ga=2.238248132.510151518.1578909478-1531068909.1578050245) is talking about multi module multi platform project. Mine is single multiplatform project. In the javaTest, I wrote another Testfile( A.kt)with kotlin.test.Test annotation and that runs. But java test file (\*.java) is not running ---

My problem was in single path to kotlin and java tests. So kotlin tests are in **root/src/test/kotlin/package** and they are running fine with **gradle :cleanTest :test** and java tests must be in **root/src/test/java/package**. Otherwise neither **compileTestKotlin** nor **compileTestJava** will not find java tests to compile.
