Kotlintest documentation ells me to use the following in my kotlin gradle build:

val test by tasks.getting(Test::class) {
    useJUnitPlatform { }
}

However, it is apparently marked unstable. Is there a way around this?

I am having issues using breakpoint in IntelliJ integration tests /w kotlintest. My app is written with springboot and I am using the

SpringListener

stuff. The app is also built on coroutines, and I am trying to put a breakpoint in a suspend function. Is there a known issue around my use case that anyone has heard of? To be clear my test does work when I just run it, and I am able to put breakpoints in the non-coroutine parts of my code.

I tried this and it didn't work. the doc is not very clear on how to use this projectconfig properly and there are many examples around

import io.kotlintest.AbstractProjectConfig
import io.kotlintest.IsolationMode

object ProjectConfig : AbstractProjectConfig() {
    fun isolationMode(): IsolationMode = IsolationMode.InstancePerTest

    private var started: Long = 0

    override fun beforeAll() {
        started = System.currentTimeMillis()
    }

    override fun afterAll() {
        val time = System.currentTimeMillis() - started
        println("overall time [ms]: " + time)
    }
}

Do you believe we should discuss this library you posted here?

looking in codebase we see that it should be called: https://github.com/kotlintest/kotlintest/blob/8c695c95338f5222378e1c3b7fbd6ece5ed776fa/kotlintest-core/src/main/kotlin/io/kotlintest/Project.kt#L94

You have a

TestListener

and you've overriden the

beforeTest

function ?

KotlinTest 3.3.3 has been released.

working on trying to isolate it down now

How should I use the

infix fun <T> T.should(matcher: (T) -> Unit)

? What's its purpose ? I use it like this :

person.should {
    it.firstName shouldBe "John"
    it.lastName shouldBe "Doe"
}

But that

should

seems redondant to me.

I've never seen github down

I understand there is no way to run just a particular test in the spec?

is there an alternative way to support spring constructor injection than https://github.com/kotlintest/kotlintest/blob/master/doc/extensions.md#constructor-injection ? The problem I am facing is that I have a class that works with

org.springframework.context.ApplicationEventPublisher

and I cannot unit test it. What I mean is, if I write a test like

class SomeTest(
  private val applicationEventPublisher: ApplicationEventPublisher = mockk(relaxed = true),
  private val myClass: MyClass(applicationEventPublisher)) : StringSpec() {...}

applicationEventPublisher

visible to the test is not the mocked one but the one instantiated from

ProjectConfig

. A workaround is to have

class SomeTest : StringSpec() {
  private val applicationEventPublisher: ApplicationEventPublisher = mockk(relaxed = true),
  private val myClass: MyClass(applicationEventPublisher)
...
}

so actually not a big deal

I actually like the 2 source sets approach, at some point I will migrate tests. thanks for the feedback

When I setup a spec, if I use lambda instead of init to place my tests into, that means I cannot really afterTest/beforeTest referencing stuff inside of that lambda. So if I want to reset a mock for example after each test, I need to use init {} way of writing tests or do resetting in the body of each test?

I'd like to start some documentation on why KotlinTest is a better choice than JUnit

This can be done in JUnit through

@Before

, but it's only for all test cases. Many times you have nested setups that will use the same input, but you'll have to repeat them over and over when using JUnit

With our Listeners, it's very easy to setup code to be used only by certain classes

Or maybe some way to override

Hi all. I’m wondering whether there’s a plugin to run each individual test on IDE? I hope there’s something similar to https://spekframework.org/running/#ide. I’ve tried https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/11585-kotlintest. However, whenever I run a single test by clicking on the green play button, the IDE run the entire tests. Also, when I right click on each test on the Test Results tree of the Run window, it shows

Nothing here

menu pop. Not sure if this is a bug.

Make sure when you click the individual arrows you have deleted any configs for the double arrow

trying it out but running into a dep thing...i just need to depend on hoplite-core and, say, hoplite-json, is that right?

Hi! I am learning Kotlin and I've never worked with the Java platform before, so I am as noob as they come in that regard. I've made a unit test with Kotlintest but when I run it it seems Gradle doesn't find the test?

Execution failed for task ':test'.
> No tests found for given includes: [com.projectfaceoff.rink.entities.EntityManagerTest](filter.includeTestsMatching)

I'm sure I've missed something in the setup or something or placed the test file in the wrong place, KotlinTest docs don't say much about those things expect how to config the gradle build file. I have a class extended with

BehaviorSpec

inside a

test/kotlin/com.foo.bar/

folder and created a

Given

When

Then

test.

Hello, can someone help me? How can i test method like this?

fun loadData() = MainScope().launch {

}

there should be one in io.kotlintest.properties or something like that

@sam would you be opposed to a PR for hoplite which allowed for comments in json? there's an option in jackson.

@sam i'm also finding that params marked with JsonProperty don't seem to map correctly, or at least not all of them? i have a test case here that repros it: https://github.com/bbaldino/hoplite/blob/json_property/hoplite-json/src/test/kotlin/com/sksamuel/hoplite/json/JsonPropertyTest.kt

Why not make login user an extension on CoroutineScope then you can call it on a main scope as well as just call it inside a kotlintest test

Any input on how we can solve this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57972025/kotlintest-how-to-use-abstract-testcontainers-class
