IntelliJ IDEA enables creating and running unit and integration Grails tests, and provides run configurations for each test type.

To create Grails test, do one of the following:
  • Use scaffolding of a domain class you want to create a test for:

    grailsCreateTest1

  • Run Grails target: press Ctrl+Alt+G, and type the target name in the text field. Use code completion to narrow down the list of matching targets:

    grailsCreateTest2

To create a Grails test run/debug configuration
  1. In the Grails view, right-click one of the test directories, point to Create Run Configuration on the context menu, and then choose one of the suggested options:
    • Tests in...
    • Grails tests:...

    grails_createTestRunConfig

  2. In the Run/Debug Configuration dialog that opens, specify the run/debug configuration settings:test type, Grails scripts etc.

    You can specify several test names separated with spaces, all these tests will run in a single run configuration.

To run a Grails test
  1. In the Grails view, select the desired test class.
  2. In the menu that opens, select Run and the desired configuration type:
