How do I run JUnit 4.11 test cases with SBT?

Question

I have the following in build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += \"com.novocode\" % \"junit-interface\" % \"0.10\" % \"test\"

libraryDependencies          


        

Answer 1

Use junit-interface 0.11 to avoid the dependency on junit-dep:

libraryDependencies += "junit" % "junit" % "4.12" % "test"

libraryDependencies += "com.novocode" % "junit-interface" % "0.11" % "test"

UPDATE: junit-interface 0.11 makes this reliable by depending on junit rather than junit-dep.

Answer 2

I would do this:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "junit" % "junit" % "4.11" % Test,
  "com.novocode" % "junit-interface" % "0.11" % Test
        exclude("junit", "junit-dep")
)

By excluding what we don't desire, it doesn't interfere. This doesn't depend on ordering.
