java - Why does Intellij IDEA suddenly not recognize tests in test folder anymore?

Question

I'm using JUnit since I started this project and everything works just fine. I have a couple of hundreds tests, and of course, here and there I start them all. Right click on root test folder, run (or debug) with JUnit. But since yesterday, when I do that, the result is:

Process finished with exit code 0

without starting any of tests. Same thing is with any folder in folder tree. I can still run a single test class, but I really need an option to start them all. If any of you have any ideas, please drop them here.

Here is what is logged when I try to run tests:

Answer 1

OK, I fixed it.

In menu, under File, there is an invalidate cache option. That fixed it!
