Run JUnit in IntelliJ, ignoring a compilation error in an unrelated class?

When running a JUnit test case in IntelliJ, it opens the Make console and shows complexity errors in an unrelated class.

  • Is it possible to run a test case ignoring these errors?

  • Is there a way to do this, not to compile the entire project when running test cases, but only those class files that are required in the test case?

Yes, you can.

You can disable Make before starting.

(For IntelliJ 14 it’s written: different versions may have slightly different layouts, but as far as I remember, these parameters were the same for a while)

For one test

  • Go to the "Run" - "Edit Configurations ..."
  • Select test case configuration
  • On the tab with the name "Configuration" there is a list of "Before starting" with one entry "Make". Delete this entry.
  • Confirm with OK

For all tests:

If you want to remove this by default for all new test configurations (which may not be a good idea, since you build manually all the time when running tests)

  • Go to the "Run" - "Edit Configurations ..."
  • Select "Defaults" in the tree
  • Select a test program (most likely Junit or TestNG)
  • On the tab with the name "Configuration" there is a list of "Before starting" with one entry "Make". Delete this entry.
  • Confirm with OK
