Hi all!  Should I be able to run Kotest 6.x in a Gradle 9.x build _without_ using JUnit runner and related libraries?

It looks like I <https://kotest.io/docs/framework/project-setup.html|should>, but the <https://github.com/kotest/kotest-examples|JVM examples> all still use the JUnit runner and while I can run `gradle kotest` successfully I can’t run `gradle build` without it failing because it can’t find any tests.  I’m sure I’ve got something configured wrong in Gradle, but I haven’t been able to find an example build script.

The Kotest test framework is supported on JVM, Javascript and Native.

Also, along the same lines is my assumption that using the Kotest gradle plugin is the _preferred_ way.

Gradle build will run junit if you have junit configured in gradle

And with gradle 9 it fails it there's no tests

Hmm… I didn’t quite understand that JUnit is the default for the `test` task.  I thought `test` could be wired up to use Kotest or JUnit.  I got past my issue by putting this in my build:
```tasks.test {
    enabled = false
}

tasks.named("build") {
    dependsOn("kotest")
}

tasks.named("check") {
    dependsOn("kotest")
}```
