Am I understanding correctly that today Android unit tests (non instrumented tests that use Android SDK with stubs) require Junit engine and Kotest’s AnnotationSpec test style?

[LeoColman]

Partly. You don't need to use AnnotationSpec style. It's actually discouraged.

It also doesn't require you to install the junit engine, Kotest is able to do that itself. You need to enable JUnitPlatform in Gradle only

[Kirill Zhukov]

Oh TIL, not sure why I thought only AnnotationSpec are supported…

[LeoColman]

Do you know where you read this information?

[Kirill Zhukov]

I probably just incorrectly correlated AnnotationSpec with being Junit-style and Android tests requiring Junit engine 🙂

[Kirill Zhukov]

Also got confused a bit by the official docs

[Kirill Zhukov]

Currently, only JVM tests are officially supported in Kotest

I’m guessing this is meant to say “kotest engine”? An UI tests -> instrumented tests?
