I'm trying to access the TestScope from KotlinX.Coroutines.test (e.g. to have access to the backgroundScope). According to https://kotest.io/docs/framework/coroutines/test-coroutine-dispatcher.html, adding .config(coroutineTestScope = true) should be enough to enable it, but I'm not sure how to access it.

The only CoroutineScope I see is the ContainerScope provided in the test, and it doesn't look like it provides those accessors.

You can use the extension value testCoroutineScheduler

That's only the scheduler. I also want the foreground and background scopes.

The option testScheduler was renamed to coroutineTestScope , so I assume the scope is available somehow?

[CLOVIS]

If I'm reading this correctly, it is instantiated in TestCoroutineInterceptor.kt:27 but never stored/passed to anything else, so it is just lost 😕

It looks like it's added to the coroutine context as TestScopeContainer, but it never reaches the coroutine context of the test for some reason. Even if it did, it doesn't look like io.kotest.core.coroutines.TestScopeContainer is available externally?

Context of a test in StringSpec:
[RunningInRunTest, kotlinx.coroutines.test.TestCoroutineScheduler@2b4738b0, kotlinx.coroutines.test.CoroutineExceptionHandler$1@2b569700, TestScope[test started], StandardTestDispatcher[scheduler=kotlinx.coroutines.test.TestCoroutineScheduler@2b4738b0]]
