Hey Colvin, Changing the "Run tests using" setting to "IntelliJ IDEA" is the main way I know of to tackle the long startup time for tests. (For those that might be unfamiliar, the full path in my version of IntelliJ at least is: "Settings" -> "Build, Execution, Deployment" -> "Build Tools" -> "Gradle" -> "Run tests using")
That said - toggling the settings has always "just worked" in my environment (MacOS, IDEA 2023.2.1, OpenJDK Java 21.0.5). I haven't hit any of those additional hurdles you mentioned. Maybe it's something particular to your IntelliJ or Java version? If you share those maybe that'd help someone either reproduce or offer a workaround?
