A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Is there a way to break down `test`s into phases/steps using some kotest semantics, purely for better readability experience?
```test("foo") {
  step("do something") {
    // ...
  }

  step("do something else") {
    // ...
  }
}```


You can also use `FreeSpec`:
```class MyTest: FreeSpec({
    "foo" - {
        "do something" {
            /...
        }
        "do something else" {
            /...
        }
    }
})```

Or `BehaviourSpec` with `Given`, `When`, `Then` + my favorite one: `And` ?

FunSpec allows
```context("foo") { 
  test("bar") {}
  test("baz") {}
}
 ```


`withClue` is what I was looking for :slightly_smiling_face:

While on the subject of `withClue`, sometimes I wish there was a way to add the text _after_ the assertion instead of having to always put it before. For example, it would be nice if there was an "otherwise" like `&lt;actual&gt; shouldBe &lt;expected&gt; otherwise "&lt;actual&gt; is the wrong value!"`. I think that would read nicer.

Funny you say that because there's a ticket someone opened to "fix" it so its before on all assertions.

I think that's a different issue (assuming you're referring to <https://github.com/kotest/kotest/issues/3694>?). I was talking about where the clue appears in the source code, not in the failure message.
