Question

I am trying to integrate a play application into Jenkins CI. I was looking for a way to automatically run all the tests.

Play documentation suggests that play auto-test runs all the tests automatically.

When I do play auto-test it does not seem to be running tests automatically as described in the documentation. It simply reads,

Go to http://localhost:9010/@tests to run the tests

and stays at that. I was curious if it was running the tests in the background and taking some time, so I checked the CPU usage which appeared to be near 100% all the time. I waited for about 25 minutes thinking it maybe running tests, but it still does not terminate and does not appear to be running tests. Running tests from browser using play test does not take more than couple of minutes.

I am running following environment

Play: 1.2.4
Java: Sun Java build 1.6.0_26-b03
OS: Ubuntu Linux 12.04

Has anyone else experienced similar issue?

Answer 1

The problem appeared to be with log4.properties file. Deleting this file gets play auto-test to work properly.

I created a property in the application.conf to use a separate log4j.properties file for the production environment.

%prod.application.log.path=log4j.prod.properties
