How might I exclude a certain set of tests from running only on iOS? I see there’s an XCTest Gradle task, but it doesn’t provide functionality like the Test task. Eg.

tasks.withType<Test> {
   exclude("**/acceptance/**")
}

common:

expect fun isIos(): Boolean

// In your test:
if (isIos()) return

non-native:

actual fun isIos(): Boolean = false

native:

actual fun isIos(): Boolean = Platform.osFamily == OsFamily.IOS

Oh that’s gonna be a headache

[kevin.cianfarini]

Sigh

tasks.withType<KotlinNativeTest>().configureEach {
    args += "--ktest_negative_gradle_filter=*acceptance*"
}

[kevin.cianfarini]

Nice, I think that works. Thanks!

alternatively, expect annotation class IosIgnore with actual typealias IosIgnore = kotlin.test.Ignore on iOS and no-op on other platforms

[kevin.cianfarini]

Oh that’s a good idea, too.

you could also define the tests in a non-iOS sourceset,

// build.gradle.kts
kotlin {
    applyDefaultHierarchyTemplate {
        common {
            group("nonIos") {
                withJs()
                withJvm()
                withAndroidNative()
                withMacos()
                withLinux()
                withMingw()
                withAndroidTarget()
                withWasmJs()
                withWasmWasi()

(of course you could trim that down to the targets you actually use) and then tests in src/nonIosTest/kotlin/** simply won't exist on iOS
