Is there a way to refactor this to something that does not produce eye-cancer?

class SchemaTest : FunSpec({
    beforeSpec {
        (it as SchemaTest).validate = Ajv(Options(strict = true)).compile(
            JSON.parse(readFile(schemaFile, utf8))
        )
    }

    test("foo") {
        readFile(path.join(dataDir, "foo.yml"), utf8) should (testCase.spec as SchemaTest).beValid()
    }
}) {
    lateinit var validate: ValidateFunction

    fun beValid(): Matcher<String> {
        return Matcher { data ->
            MatcherResult(
                validate(YAML.parse(data)),
                { "validation failed:\n${JSON.stringify(validate.errors, null, 4)}" },
                { "should have failed validation but passed" },
            )
        }
    }
}

class SchemaTest : FunSpec({
  beforeSpec {
    validate = Ajv(xxxxxxX)
  }

  test("foo") {
    readFile(path) should beValid()
  }
})
lateinit var validate: ValidateFunction
fun beValid(): Matcher<String> = Matcher { data ->}

I thought something like this

[LeoColman]

But I don't know enough of your code to make real changes

[LeoColman]

I'd ditch using the Spec Class and leave it outside of the class

[LeoColman]

Then you can use everything inside constructor, or should be able to

Ah, right, thanks.
I started with having those two outside the spec class, but for some reason had to move it inside.
I don't know what the reason was, but obviously I rewrote some things so that now it works like that. 🙂

[Vampire]

Maybe you also have ideas for my other two questions? 🙂

[LeoColman]

Oh, maybe, I didn't see them 😂

[Vampire]

Right above this one 🙂
