How can I tell JUnit to expect my test/ folder in a different location than under src/?

[Javier]

You don’t need to tell junit anything. Just add any directory to the test source set and it will work

[Ray Rahke]

is that in the build.gradle.kts?

[Ray Rahke]

this is all of my contents
``````

[Ray Rahke]

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.23"
}
dependencies {
    testImplementation(kotlin("test"))
}

[Javier]

yes, in the kotlin extension you can access to each source set

[Ray Rahke]

i am having a hard time knowing how to figure out what to write here

[Ray Rahke]

like, what the names of each things are.

[Ray Rahke]

the kotlin docs don't mention it on junit

[Ray Rahke]

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.23"
}
dependencies {
    testImplementation(kotlin("test"))
}
kotlin {
  sourceSets {

} }

[Javier]

You don’t need to do anything with junit to get what you want working

[Javier]

kotlin.sourceSets.test.srcDirs(“…”)

[Ray Rahke]

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.23"
}
dependencies {
    testImplementation(kotlin("test"))
}
kotlin.sourceSets.test.srcDirs("…")

[Ray Rahke]

so this?

[Javier]

add your directories in srcDirs

[Ray Rahke]

yeah

[Ray Rahke]

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.23"
}
dependencies {
    testImplementation(kotlin("test"))
}
kotlin.sourceSets.test.srcDirs("/test")

[Ray Rahke]

for my root level

[Ray Rahke]

folder named test

[Javier]

if that does not work that means it is relative to the project and you would need something like rootDir.resolve(“test”).path

[Ray Rahke]

@Javier this

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.23"
}
dependencies {
    testImplementation(kotlin("test"))
}
kotlin.sourceSets.test.srcDirs("/test")

results in error

* What went wrong:
Script compilation error:

  Line 10: kotlin.sourceSets.test.srcDirs("/test")
                                  ^ Unresolved reference: srcDirs

changing it to this

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.23"
}
dependencies {
    testImplementation(kotlin("test"))
}
rootDir.resolve("test").path

results in this error
