 Description  « Hide
Hi,

When running tests on a whole package or whole source, we're noticing that IDEA loads ALL the tests first, then runs them. While I'm sure there are good reasons for it, it's something that it causing us grief and causing us out of memory exceptions, and causing our tests to take 20 minutes of init time!

I would like to see a configuration switch which would allow idea to load a test class and init the test when it gets to it, not load all of them first then run them. Our JUnit test suites are huge and sometimes heavy (dao layer) and it's just too much for our systems to handle all of them in one shot the way idea does it. Needs to work more like how ant does it. Our systems are not small either, we've got 1 gig of ram, of which 512 is alloted to IDEA.

Thanks
R
