Hey, We are using

StringSpec

tests. They look like this:

init {
        "test that something works" {
            val rules = setupMocks()
            ...
        }
     ...

When I run the test suite I cant see the

test that something works

text. How can I enable this? Using Spring

can you clarify how you're running the test suite, and show a screen shot of where you expect to see the text?

This is how I run the test suite:

time mvn '-Dos.detected.classifier=osx-x86_64' -U clean install

does install run tests ?

Yes it does. Let me see

Did you setup the surefire plugin to run tests

Good question, im not the one who set it up, let me find out

So what's configured to run tests? Surefire is one such plugin, which integrates with JUnit platform (Which Kotest also integrates with.)

[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M7:test (default-test) @ service ---
[INFO] Using auto detected provider org.apache.maven.surefire.junitplatform.JUnitPlatformProvider

So it seems that Im using

surefire

, sorry for that

Do you have

kotest-runner-junit5-jvm

dependency added to your classpath?

Yeah I looks like so.

<dependency>
            <groupId>io.kotest</groupId>
            <artifactId>kotest-runner-junit5-jvm</artifactId>
            <version>${kotest-runner.version}</version>

                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

@John Herrlin hmm did the test run but it just didn’t output anything? can you add this

object TestPrinterListener : TestListener {
  /**
   * Resolves the test name together with all the contexts, separated by "-"
   *
   * context - when something - when another - should do xyz
   */
  private tailrec fun resolveTestName(
    current: TestCase,
    separator: String = " - ",
    acc: String = ""
  ): String {
    val name = if (acc.isEmpty()) current.name.testName else "${current.name.testName}$separator$acc"
    return when (val parent = current.parent) {
      null -> name
      else -> resolveTestName(parent, separator, name)
    }
  }

  override suspend fun finalizeSpec(kclass: KClass<out Spec>, results: Map<TestCase, TestResult>) {
    val testCases = results.filter { it.key.type == TestType.Test }
    println(
      listOf(
        "~~~ ${kclass.simpleName} ~~~",
        *testCases
          .map { (testCase, result) -> "  + ${resolveTestName(testCase)}: TestResult=$result" }
          .toTypedArray()
      ).joinToString("\n", "\n")
    )
  }
}

and then register it in your `ProjectConfig`:

class ProjectConfig : AbstractProjectConfig() {
  override fun extensions(): List<Extension> = listOf(
    TestPrinterListener,
    // SpringAutowireConstructorExtension, 
    // JunitXmlReporter(includeContainers = false, useTestPathAsName = true),
    // ...
  )
}
