(slightly prematurely) looking at 1.4, and seeing a new compiler warning I don't quite understand. In the following class: https://github.com/trib3/leakycauldron/blob/master/testing/src/test/kotlin/com/trib3/testing/db/DAOTestBaseTest.kt lines 30 and 48 both look like:

var reached = false

With 1.4, line 30 triggers the following warning, but line 48 does not:

DAOTestBaseTest.kt: (30, 23) Variable 'reached' initializer is redundant

I can fix by replacing with

var reached: Boolean

, but would like to understand why the 2 instances are being treated differently first.

Aren't asserts run conditionally?

asserts from from assertk, tests run via testng, fwiw

The compiler feels confident that the code inside

use

will simply always run

ah,

dead write

makes sense as an explanation to me, clearer than redundant initializer at least, thanks!
