are there other multiplatform testing libraries out there, or is it basically just kotlin.test? I miss AssertJ...

[stephanmg]

why can’t you use AssertJ?

[stephanmg]

https://github.com/willowtreeapps/assertk

[stephanmg]

Maybe you want to have a look at Assertk

[Big Chungus]

Also kotest, although not full-MPP

[stephanmg]

What is MPP?

[nanodeath]

multiplatform

[stephanmg]

oh, so MP, I see

[nanodeath]

JetBrains calls it MPP

thanks though, assertk looks promising

[nanodeath]

I tried doing assertTrue(mySet == setOf(1, 2, 3)) and 1. it only passes on some platforms, and 2. when it fails, of course it's cryptic. so...it's nice to have a better library

[stephanmg]

okay now that makes sense @Big Chungus

[stephanmg]

@nanodeath I agree with you, AssertJ should be still usable however

[stephanmg]

I did not work with Assertk yet but I thought I wanted to play with it

[nanodeath]

assertj is only usable if I'm using the jvmTest source set, not the commonTest source set

[stephanmg]

ah okay, this is definitely a -1

[Arian Stolwijk]

We're using assertk, works pretty well in our jvm project, but I think it has multi platform support too

[dave08]

You could also try #CAR7KJ96J

[dave08]

But not sure about mpp for it

[nanodeath]

thanks @dave08. looks like it targets the jvm tho https://github.com/robfletcher/strikt/blob/trunk/strikt-core/strikt-core.gradle.kts#L2

[dave08]

Yup, now I see someone already raised the issue https://github.com/robfletcher/strikt/issues/113. But we use it a lot for jvm, it seems to be very flexible and extendable. Well, good luck 🙂!
