trying to use test filters results in all tests being executed, regardless of the filter.

gradle clean test -Dkotest.filter.specs='*PrintDrlTest*' --scan --info.kt

gradle clean test -Dkotest.filter.specs='*PrintDrlTest*' --scan --info.kt

hm. no clue what’s going on here. I’ve tried a lot of stuff. I thought maybe it was the kotest version, so I updated it, I thought maybe it was because my test didn’t actually have any sort of assertions in it so I added assertions, I’ve tried with both the regular --tests filter and with the specific -Dkotest.filter.specs option.

hm. wait. something even weirder is happening. If I use --tests then it actually does run only a single test, but then it fails, because it thinks no tests were found (even though the test did run…)

sorry, keep forgetting to provide other information. I’m running in terminal, not intellij.

--tests works but you have to follow gradles format (doesn't work on nested tests)

if you use -D then you need to make sure the args are passed to the forked process, you can't just put the on the command line
