java.lang.Exception: No tests found matching Method using Intellij IDEA

Solution 1:

If you're using a theory testing framework like Junit's or Robolectric's, make sure to run the class containing the test you want, instead the test itself. Since these frameworks use the test methods as instance methods instead of static methods, any testing framework looking for a normal public static test won't find anything.

Solution 2:

The same issue i got with Gradle (4.5+) + new Build Cache feature

Sometimes it's unable to find new test methods and throws exception (like you mentioned in topic)

Solution: clean .gradle, build and out directories and try again ;)

Solution 3:

Well, after "playing" a bit with run configurations of each unit test I noticed that each Run Config has a Build goal preset in the Before Launch option (See pic below):

After changing Build to Build Project the tests run fine.
