Not one of those use Minutest... 😉?

Yes. I was trying to understand how things were done before working out how minutest could help. But my spirit was broken before then.

I think it's better now with androidx test modules and robolectric 4 that joined efforts... but I like minutest's orientation on fixtures (especially with android tests that need quite a bit of setting up...) ... I understand your feelings though. So I suppose you're not really going to try to support it then?

As with coroutines, I’m nervous of providing support for a thing I don’t really understand, and interested to see if the Minutest model can naturally accommodate the use cases without changing.

I'm not too familiar with these things, but it looks like it should work with 5 even if there's no official extension for it. https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/issues/3477

My reading of that was that it works with JUnit 5 running JUnit 4 tests

I remember that, but I think KoTest is using junit5 for Android and doesn't require all that anymore, see the 'Use' section: https://github.com/kotest/kotest, all it needs is

useJUnitPlatform()

... By the way, does minutest runs side-by-side with existing junit tests?

Yes, in fact our own tests are a mix. You can have plain JUnit4, plain JUnit5, JUnit5Minutests and JUnit4Minutests (and even our own JUnitPlatform version) in the same test source root
