sbt test command fails

Answer 1

From Compiling and Testing Chisel:

In order to run the following unit tests, you will need several tools on your PATH, namely firtool, verilator, yosys, and espresso. Check that each is installed on your PATH by running which verilator and so on.

If the compilation succeeded and the dependencies noted above are installed, you can then run the included unit tests by invoking:

sbt test

I guess you did not install (all of) those tools.
