Override project's setting inside of SBT task

Question

In my build.sbt a compilation phase depends on running scapegoat inspection

(compile in Compile) := (compile in Compile).dependsOn(scapegoat).value

I'm trying to introduce a new task for running tests (for development purposes to speed things up) that does not depend on scapegoat like this:

lazy val fastTests = taskKey[Unit]("")

fastTests := {
  scapegoat in Compile := {}
  (test in Test).value
}

but gets ignored

You cannot do it with a task because tasks cannot change settings. You can solve it either with different configurations or with a command (which can change settings). See for example:

How to disable “Slow” tagged Scalatests by default, allow execution with option? (for the configurations approach)
How to change setting inside SBT command?
