So, I got a question regarding the Kotest plugin for IntelliJ! I really, really LOVE to use Kotest over JUnit... but there's a few annoyances where I would like to know if this is an unsolvable problem or a bug... when tests fail, I like to quickly jump to them by clicking on the name in the runner panel... but for Kotest tests that "link" is not there as it is for JUnit tests... because of that, it is really, really tedious to find the source code of the failing test. Any plans to fix this? Thx!

A fix is planned, but I don't believe we can give you a date. This is an old problem caused by Gradle, in which due to a bug you cannot use "TEST_CONTAINER" - Only TEST and CONTAINER - which is what Kotest tests are. We are changing a lot of the internal engine for 6.0, and we probably won't need to use Gradle anymore for that API. If/when that happens, we pave the way to "Go to source" directly from the test window in IntelliJ
It's a known issue. It's also annoying for the maintainers, we just don't have an easy way out yet

As a small workaround to this, try going to the failing class. I believe that the toplevel container still links to the source class

It's fixed in 6.0 which will be released very soon
