Is there a way in Kotest to show which tests / specs of a given tag would be run (i.e. the code under test was changed) without actually running the tests yet? I was hoping that something like

./gradlew funTest -Dkotest.tags=Docker --dry-run

would give a clue, but that just shows all tasks as skipped.

I wasn't aware of the dry-run tag on gradle

Does this work with Junit?

isnt the dry run flag just for gradle tasks?

Ahh I see. So @Sebastian Schuberth wants the task to interpret it show the tests that would run. But if gradle isn't invoking the task, there's nothing we can do.

right. it would need to be a different option one that is not handled by gradle and passed to kotest

With a more fleshed out gradle plugin, we could generate a dry-run task for Kotest

@sam is right, sorry for any confusion my example might have caused.
