# Run Unit Tests

We provide a wrapper script around Gradle that provides concise, token-efficient output for test execution. This is especially useful for AI agents running tests.

**Usage:**
```bash
# Run all tests in the project
./bin/run_tests.main.kts

# Run tests for a specific module
./bin/run_tests.main.kts -m persistence

# Run a specific test
./bin/run_tests.main.kts -t "MongoDBSaveGameRepositoryTest.should save and retrieve a save game"
```

**Output Behavior:**
- **Success (exit 0)**: Prints `✓ All tests passed successfully`
- **Compilation Error (exit 1)**: Shows full Gradle output with compilation error details
- **Test Failure (exit 1)**: Shows concise failure information:
    - Test class and method name
    - Failure message (truncated if too long)
    - Relevant stack trace lines (framework noise filtered out)

**Example Success:**
```
✓ All tests passed successfully
```

**Example Test Failure:**
```
✗ Build/tests failed
