I'm having a weird error. When I run a test in intellij, it works fine bun when I do a

./pants test foo --test-junit-test="MySuite"

I have the following error:

There were 2 failures:
                     1) Test mechanism
                     java.lang.NullPointerException

Any idea why ? I might be messing with pants internals : the app I'm testing has an aspect woven. to perform this task I have a temporary hack which consist in 1/ a task

AspectjCompile

that basically extends

ZincCompile

, override compile, call super.compile and then replace the output class files with the one that have the aspect woven on 2/ a target that copy JvmTarget & inline ScalaLibrary without being JvmTarget to not trigger the regular zinc task I know this is messy but this is supposed to be super temporary …
