While running a test from the Spec level which means CityTests, kotest runner picks up kotest.framework.config.fqn but, not from the individual test level. It never runs the given fqn. Why there is such behaviour difference?
Version: 6.0.0.M1
kotest intellij plugin: 1.3.86-243-EAP-SNAPSHOT

Gradle settings of IDE. When I change Run Tests using to Intellij. Spec level fqn pick-up does not work. So gradle seems to be correct choice.

Running individual tests always runs them with the Kotest runner atm

So depending on how you set the kotest.framework.config.fqn it might not be picked up by the kotest runner

[Emil Kantis]

If you add it as a kotest.properties as described here it should work no matter which runner: https://kotest.io/docs/intellij/intellij-properties.html#specifying-the-properties-filename

I have it in build.gradle.kts

task<Test>("e2eTest") {
  systemProperty("kotest.framework.config.fqn", "myapplication.config")
}

[Emil Kantis]

Right. That will not work when the test is run by the Kotest runner

I see, the process is managed by gradle here I believe so env-var is not visible to kotest runner. I will give it a try to other approach, thanks!

[Oğuzhan Soykan]

yes it worked! Thanks a lot!
