Hello! In order to run tests in a different build type you need to define the buildType name in the testBuildType field (else they will run in the debug buildType). Let's say that I have a buildType with the name buildTypeA and write testBuildType="buildTypeA", then everything works as expected. The problem is that when the name of the buildType is calculated by a function this does not seem to work. The strange thing is that testBuildType=calculateBuildType() assigns the correct value but in Android Studio I get Nothing here when I try to run them. Even if we define a pretty dummy calculate function the tests wont run (calculateBuildType(): String = "buildTypeA" <-- this does not work :S). Is this expected behaviour? My goal is to be able to run tests on the current buildType, without having to switch to the debug buildType which is counterproductive.

What is this about?
testBuildType is nothing in Gradle.
As you say AS, is this something Android specific?
Maybe you should then at least post a link to this question in #android to reach people actually doing Android development.
If not (or even if) maybe an [MCVE](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) could help

And additionally I'm not sure how the question is Kotlin-related
