Java Runner

The Java runner in Chase provides integrated testing and execution supporting Maven, Gradle, and standard Java.

🚀 Activation Triggers

Chase identifies a Java project if any of the following files are found in the project root:

• .classpath
• pom.xml
• build.gradle
• build.gradle.kts
• settings.gradle
• settings.gradle.kts

🧪 Execution Logic

When you press <leader>cc:

• Inside a Test:
  • Uses Tree-sitter to detect JUnit test methods.
  • Maven: mvn test -Dtest=ClassName#methodName
  • Gradle: ./gradlew test --tests ClassName#methodName
• Outside a Test:
  • Maven: mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=ClassName
  • Gradle: ./gradlew run
  • Standard Java: Compiles with javac into build/ and runs with java -cp build/ ClassName.

⚙️ Configuration

require("chase").setup({
    java = {
        enabled = true,
