does kotlin test framework have any way to set up a list of parameters to a test function?

[Hullaballoonatic]

something tells me that that's too specific for generalizing depending on ng, js, jvm, native

Hmmm list of parameters code smell for data class refactor?

[Hullaballoonatic]

buddy... i'm not sure what you mean

[Hullaballoonatic]

i understand what all those words mean on their own, but your sentence doesn't make any sense to me...

[Hullaballoonatic]

in javascript with jest, i'd write the tests something like this:

[
  { text: 'hello', expected: 'HELLO' }, 
  { text: 'apple', expected: 'APPLE' }
].forEach(({ text, expected }) => {
  it(`should return 'text' in uppercase`, () => {
    expect(uppercase(text)).toBe(expected);
  });
});

Oh I see, you’re looking for parameterized tests. If I remember correctly, the core kotlin.test doesn’t have this functionality, it is specific to the implementation being used (Junit/TestNG/JS/etc)

[Matteo Mirk]

kotlin.test only provides annotations and assertion functions independent from the platform, plus some specific implementations
