I read that Kotest has built-in coroutine test support. How can I get access to the Dispatcher instance used inside a Spec? I'm testing Android ViewModel and for this need to replace the Main dispatcher inside viewModelScope using Dispatchers.setMain().

Getting the current dispatcher should be as simple as val dispatcher = coroutineContext[CoroutineDispatcher], just as in normal code. If you have set coroutineTestScope = true for your test suite, the dispatcher will be a TestDispatcher — see https://kotest.io/docs/framework/coroutines/test-coroutine-dispatcher.html
