Running Specific Test Using sbt

You're writing tests for your spark scala etl pipeline right? Right? RIGHT?

Typically you will run your entire test suite with sbt as follows:

> sbt test

It's also really easy to run a single test using sbt, but the syntax is rather convoluted and can be hard to rember. To run a specific test you specify the test suite and the complete test name as follow:

> sbt 'testOnly *TestSuiteClass -- -t testName'

You can run all tests under a specific test class too:

> sbt 'testOnly *TestSuiteClass'

You can use the -z option as a wildcard to match multiple tests within the suite:

> sbt 'testOnly *TestSuiteClass -- -z tests'
