Cannot run specs2 test from within IDEA pants project

[allengeorge]

IDEA has a nifty feature where you can right-click and select "Run as..." for a test. Once I migrated my project to a pants-based project I can't do that anymore.

Any example I can try on?

@allengeorge what exact error are you seeing? For me IntelliJ was able to recognize and generate a specs2 configuration like below:

However Pants may have trouble exporting some classpath causing ClassNotFound

Example from pantsbuild/pants#4516, examples/tests/scala/org/pantsbuild/example/specs2/HelloWorldSpec.scala

Just added an example how specs2 should work with Pants pantsbuild/pants#4516

Feel free to open the issue if it does not work for you even after conforming to the example.
