Hello

I want to create a multiplatform library but I have an issue with tests.

I would like perform suspend action in the @BeforeTest (there is no @BeforeAll) but this function cannot be suspend and runBlocking doesn't exists in module commonTest.

I tried to use runTest with @BeforeTest, but that doesn't work in JS, the test is executed before the end of the Before

So, do you advise me to create my tests only in JVM or have you a solution to resolve that ?

I would probably create a private suspend function that each test calls instead of using BeforeTest.

You could also create a private runTest function that calls the normal runTest function and then calls your setup code and finally runs the test block.

I tried to call the BeforeEach in each test and effectively, that works, but that's sad if I need to do that everywhere 😣

[mkrussel]

If you weren't support JS you could do the runBlocking. But that is why I recommended you replace the runTest with one that calls it, so that the tests don't look different than normal.

You might take a look at #kotest instead of using the standard Kotlin test framework

I tried too .. but I can't launch with JS or native directly on the IDE and the plugin doesn't detect the JDK

[Distractic]

So, have a custom runTest is acceptable, that allows me to define beforeeach and aftereach
However, have you a solution for BeforeAll and AfterAll ? 🤔

Finally, I resolve my bug with Kotest and go on it
