I'm trying to install KoTest 6.0.2, but AS says it can't find the required plugin. I seem to be on ...2025.1.
The plugin dialogue doesn't offer to update me so I've downloaded ...2025.2 from the website, but when I try to install it I get the error message
Plugin 'kotest' (version '6.0.101-2025.2') is not compatible with the current version of the IDE, because it requires build 252.23892 or newer but the current build is AI-251.26094.121v

09/05/2025, 1:02 PMFair point, I hadn't really taken notice of that. However I don't see how it's relevant.
I already have this version of the plugin and it won't let me update to any flavour of 6.

09/05/2025, 1:13 PMI don't get what you are saying.
There is a variant for 2025.1 based AS (Narwhal)
And there is a variant for 2025.2 based AS (whatever that will be)
You tried to install the 2025.2-compatible version in a 2025.1-based AS and it tells you that tihis does not work.

09/05/2025, 2:42 PMWhat I'm trying, and failing, to do is install KoTest 6.something.
What do I need to do that on Narwhal.3?

09/05/2025, 5:04 PMThat's what I started with, and what I still have.
I started this because it wasn't working. It still isn't working. I excpect I've got something else wrong, I'm just not sure what.

09/06/2025, 10:31 AMThe error message in your original post says you have installed
6.0.101-2025.26.0.101-2025.1m

09/09/2025, 6:42 PMDoesn't that error message show that AS won't us the 2025.2 plugin because it's not compatible with the AS version which is AI-251.
Perhaps my question should be "how comes I'm on the wrong version of AS if I've got the latest stable release?"
I thought KoTest 6 had been out long enough that it would be compatible with the stable AS branch. Perhaps that's my error.

09/09/2025, 7:25 PMNo, you still did not get it.
As you see in my screenshot there are various variants of the latest version of the plugin which is 6.0.101, different variants for different IDE versions.
You try to use the 2025.2 variant 6.0.101-2025.2 on a 2025.1 version and the 2025.1 version of the IDE tells you that this is not compatible.
So again, you simply try to use the wrong variant of the plugin.
6.0.101-2025.2 is not newer than 6.0.101-2025.1, it is just a different variant for a different IDE version.

09/10/2025, 8:16 AMOk, got it now. My problem wasn't that I'd got the wrong version of the plugin but that it's now entirely the wrong plugin to use for kotest 6 in KMP.
Thanks for your help @Vampire
