Test discovery breaks when running into classes/objects which are not valid Tests

[rayalex]

Describe the bug
When adding utility classes/objects to test source sets, the plugin tries to scan them for tests but fails with:

class co.helmethair.scalatest.runtime.Discovery cannot access a member of class ***SomeHelper$ with modifiers "private"

To Reproduce

object SomeHelper extends MockFactory {
  def something(...)
}

placed under src/test/scala/{package} causes the above to be recognized as the test and fail.

Expected behavior
Such classes should be ignored.

Screenshots
N/A

Build/Test environment:

• Gradle 7
• Scala 2.12
• Scalatest 3.2.15

Thank you for the report!

I checked the issue, was able to reproduce. It seems to me, that MockFactory inherits from TestSuite and this confuses the discovery as it thinks the class is a test suite which needs to be executed. In the following examples I see the MockFactory used differently: https://www.javadoc.io/static/org.scalamock/scalamock_2.12/3.4.1/org/scalamock/scalatest/MockFactory.html
The above use-case does not cause problems, it might be a workaround for you until I fix this bug.
