What could this be? Just got an error like this:

Seems like this: https://github.com/kotest/kotest/issues/2849

[dave08]

Oh, thanks! I guess there's no workaround then...?

[Chris Lee]

doesn’t look that way. I generally avoid having my code (what is being tested) have external dependencies such as system properties, environment variables, etc. Where there is a need for “configuration options” those are passed in as variables or configuration objects, resolved elsewhere (separating the external configuration/resolution from code logic).

[dave08]

I do too, I was I guess checking the naming of env vars that hoplite takes in in that particular test...

[dave08]

I just made it ignore that test, and it seems to work, thanks again!

🦥 but I think you should be able to workaround it by adding --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED to the test task java options. It's still something that should be fixed on Kotest side though

[wasyl]

Ha, it's even documented here: https://kotest.io/docs/extensions/system_extensions.html 🙂
