Not sure if this was posted here, but it seems that many people are having problems getting MockK to run when using Kotest 4+ and running tests with the Kotest IntelliJ plugin: https://github.com/mockk/mockk/issues/459.

I'm not sure if this happens for everyone, but if it does then it is blocking all Kotest users from really working with MockK in an easy way. It is not clear to me if this is a problem that needs to be fixed on the Kotest side or MockK side.

Did anybody here experience the problem and have any more information or even workarounds? Please help us out in the issue or here on Slack 🙂.

Hi!

[LeoColman]

As a developer from Kotest, we weren't aware of the issue

[LeoColman]

This looks like an issue with our IntelliJ plugin. We'll investigate

[reevn]

Thanks! I was thinking about crossposting this to the Kotest plugin repo, but wasn’t sure. Awesome that you've seen this 👍

[LeoColman]

You can always reach us at #kotest too, if any issue comes up 🙂

It would be useful to know if this is only affecting people using android studio or all intellij users?

[thanksforallthefish]

for what is worth, I never saw the issue. we use regular intellij, with 1.0.5 plugin and 4.1.1 kotest

[sam]

The latest 1.1.0 plugin (unreleased) changes the way the classpath works so this might fix this (just hoping though)

[reevn]

Cool! Any way I can help to quickly test this or should the update be released in not too much time?

[sam]

tonight / tomorrow, you can try it manually if you want

kotest-plugin-intellij-1.1.0.zip

[reevn]

Hmm, with the new version nothing happens when I try to execute tests (not even some kind of feedback/build process). Just nothing happens when I click a gutter icon or try to start a test inside the Kotest plugin window.

I reverted to 1.0.5 and tests are executed again (although failing because of the mentioned issue in this thread 🙂).

I will try again when the new version is on the marketplace.

[sam]

ok

[sam]

what version of kotest ?

[reevn]

4.1.1

[sam]

ok thanks will check that out
