Run Gradle test and not Junit test in IntelliJ IDEA 15 when choosing configuration type to run with

Question

I updated to Intellij 15.02 from 14 and wanted to run my tests using Gradle not JUnit, but I'm not getting the options anymore like the image you see here.

I want to be able to choose configuration type.

The thing that is happening now when I run a test is that it runs it as a JUnit test by default.

I have imported the gradle project with gradle by selecting the gradle file in the project. I have deleted each configuration entry at the top so everything is clean and empty when running a new test with Spock.

My current "fix" is to manually create a new config entry for the gradle test. Intellij is not intelligent enough to create that same Junit test as a Gralde test.

I'm confused.

I found the solution. They have changed the way you select this option in the new version of intellij 15.02.

You have to select Gradle Test Runner.

In modern versions of IntelliJ (I have Ultimate 2019.2.3) here's what you need to update:

Update from "Gradle" to "IntelliJ IDEA"
