is there an easy way to order kotlin test like junits Order()?

[Antoine Gagnon]

Are you unable to use the annotation @Order(1) for instance?

[Antoine Gagnon]

You would also need to add this annotation above your test class:
@TestMethodOrder(OrderAnnotation.class)

[tim]

That's what I'm using currently but it requires the junit jupiter package... I was curious if there was anything inside kotlin.test.* that accomplished the same without the additional package

[Antoine Gagnon]

You’re not using any JUnit package?

[tim]

This kotlin guide (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/using-gradle.html) says to add these test dependencies:

testImplementation(kotlin("test"))
testImplementation(kotlin("test-junit"))

but as far as i can tell TestMethodOrder isn't available in those packages and you need to add:

testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter:5.6.0")

So let me rephrase my question ... is there an easy way to order tests using only Kotlin's recommended testImplementation packages, or do you have to add the jupiter package to have test ordering? If you have to add the jupiter package ... whats the point of adding the kotlin test package in the first instance and why not simply recommend the jupiter pacakge?

sorry i made that way more confusing than it needed to be 😆

[Antoine Gagnon]

Pretty sure it's just that the test package only has JUnit4 and the recommendations I'm making are for JUnit 5! There is a way to do it for JUnit 4 that's very smiliar (I just don't know it haha)

[tim]

Ahh k

[tim]

I'll stick with 5!
