I'm just now working on adding Wasm targets to Kotest. It's almost done with some limitations remaining:
• wasmJs/Browser tests fail with "Disconnected (0 times) , because no message in 30000 ms", so I have those disabled for now.
• wasmWasi is disabled for now as the Ktor 3.0.0-wasm2 seems to be missing that target.
What I'd like to know before I'll start to dig deeper in uncharted territory:
• JS tests are disabled throughout Kotest, with JS test sources commented out. Why is that?
• Wouldn't proper JS tests potentially require the current dev version of the Kotest Gradle+compiler plugin (not a former one downloaded from a repository)?

The comment out thing is just a mistake, we should re-enable.

And yes, if we can use the gradle compiler plugin from the actual repo itself, that would be best

Cool to see some progress around wasm 🙂 nice work!

Thanks, though it seems like I'm somewhat stuck at the moment. Whenever I try to run wasmJsNodeTest, I'm getting a startup error

Seems like for some reason mocha is not loaded, though the entire tree under build/js looks equivalent to what Kotlin's own test library produces.
