Type-safe project accessors is an incubating feature.

Here is my test class

class DatabaseTest : FreeSpec() {



    private fun pass() = (0 shouldBe 0)
   


    init {

        "test" {
            pass()
            fail("ssp")
        }

        "pass" {
            pass()
        }


    }


}

What I want to do is simply run the "pass" test and nothing else
