12/12/2025, 6:47 PM@sam Please can you refrain from using alpha versions of dependencies (like koin), because it makes automated upgrades difficult? I was struggling to upgrade kotest because dependabot rightly did not pick up the alpha version of koin now used by kotest, creating an incompatibility that caused tests to fail. If you are curious about the particulars, the BeanDefinition constructor signature changed between Koin 4.1.1 and 4.2.0-alpha3, causing a NoSuchMethodError at runtime.

12/12/2025, 6:52 PMIt's not ideal but the earlier versions didn't support kotlin 2.2
sam
12/12/2025, 6:52 PMSo it was either this or leave the module out
sam
12/12/2025, 6:52 PMMaybe leaving it out was better

12/12/2025, 6:53 PMIn that case I suggest making your release an alpha too, and bumping the minor version. This should not have been a patch.

12/12/2025, 6:54 PMWe waited a long time for it. It's not realistic to hold up the whole of kotest for koin. Maybe the koin dep should be separate?

12/12/2025, 6:55 PMI am not saying you should have waited, but versioned differently to signal the breakage and instability.

12/12/2025, 7:00 PM6.0.6 could have been 6.1.0-alpha1, and 6.0.7 -> 6.1.0-alpha2

12/12/2025, 7:05 PMYeah you're right. Noted for future releases.
