how are tests supposed to be handled in multiplatform? I'm mainly building for JS and debating if I should extract functionality like data structures and easily unitestable functions into commonMain

[chrisjenx]

unit tests are pretty easy, just include the kotlin.test deps in in commonTest and you can write tests in commonTest then run them against all your targets.

Intergration tests get a bit more tricky and you normally have to write those on their respective platforms right now

(Some configuration is needed)

I see, thank you 🙂

Still experimental: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/compose-test.html#write-and-run-common-tests

with regards to resource folders

[Bernhard]

how do you resolve data from there

[Bernhard]

in spring projects, you can put things in separate folders and they're all merged together during test execution

[chrisjenx]

Honestly only played with Strings in common, nothing else 😞

[chrisjenx]

Not sure how the resource merger works tbh

[chrisjenx]

I'm hoping it would overwrite depending on the source tree...

[chrisjenx]

I know theres a bunch of improvements in upcoming 1.7.x branch

[Bernhard]

thank you!
