Hi all, I am following https://ktor.io/docs/testing.html#hocon guide on testing, the issue I am facing is when I do withApplication(testEnv) it doesn't load my module that is defined in application.conf but when I do withTestApplication(Application::main) it loads the module but the configuration is missing, not sure what am I doing wrong here?

Where is your application.conf file is located?

[Marko Kunic]

main/resources

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

It should reside in the resources of the test source set.

[Marko Kunic]

oh, so I need to have different set of config or I guess I can somehow import main config file and change in test what I want?

[Marko Kunic]

nop, that is not it, just checked and it loads application.conf from main resources without a problem

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

You can use ConfigFactory.parseFile(File("/path/to/file") code to load a config from local filesystem.

I am using ConfigFactory.load("application.conf") just fine, it loads the config file from main/resources the issue is that it doesn't start he module specified in that config

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Could you please try to introduce a syntax error to your config to check that it's actually used?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

If the config file doesn't exists in the test source set then there would be no error.

[Marko Kunic]

it fails when I add a syntax error

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Could you please share a complete code for your test?

@Test
    fun `test something`() {
        withApplication(createTestEnvironment { HoconApplicationConfig(ConfigFactory.load("application.conf")) }) {
            with(
                handleRequest(<http://HttpMethod.Post|HttpMethod.Post>, "my/endpoint") {
                    addHeader(HttpHeaders.ContentType, ContentType.Application.Json.contentType)
                    setBody("")
                }
            ) {
                assertEquals(HttpStatusCode.OK, response.status())
            }
        }
    }

You need to set the config property to make it work. So before HoconApplicationConfig( add config =

yes! that works, thank you!!
