Hi all,

Is there any specific configuration required to run js test when we use IR backend. Before using IR backend for js target my js test were running but after switching to IR non of the js test are running.

Here is my build gradle file: https://github.com/ashishkujoy/kotlin-js-jvm-library/blob/main/build.gradle.kts

These are the task I can see with IR backend

[andylamax]

are you developing for node or browser?

node

Perhaps you need something like this:

kotlin {
    js {
        nodejs {
            testTask { 
                useMocha()
            }            
        }
    }
}

@Robert Jaros I tried out that but It did not worked out

[Robert Jaros]

And have you tried binaries.executable() instead of binaries.library()?

[Ashish Kumar Joy]

I think it might be an issue with the Kotest framework, i tried switching to kotlin test and with that I am able to run test.

[Ashish Kumar Joy]

Are you using current version of Kotest? I see they support IR since 4.4.2 released 6 days ago.

[Ashish Kumar Joy]

I tried with snapshot version as well

Same here. With the legacy JS backend, I get correct results for every single JS test like this:
• Json serialization[frontend, browser, ChromeHeadless89.0.4389.72, Linuxx86_64] – passed
• Json cycle serialization[frontend, browser, ChromeHeadless89.0.4389.72, Linuxx86_64] – passed
With the IR JS backend, all I get is this, even if I make tests fail:
• kotestJavascript[frontend, browser, ChromeHeadless89.0.4389.72, Linuxx86_64] – passed
Tried with latest Kotest release 4.4.2.
