# kotlin-native

[Rohde Fischer]

so testing with kotlin-native and using testcontainers, does anyone have experience with this? What I basically want to do is run kotlin-code that does changes on the file system (thus, I want it run in a controlled environment) and then assert the state afterwards, e.g. if I change the permissions of a file, I want to check that change afterwards

as far as I can see there's no easy step for running testcontainers in native which leads me to believe that I have two strategies available:

1. Find a way to wrap the Go-implementation (after all won't that be some kind of native module?)
2. Write the tests in a supported language, running the kotlin tests one by one, doing the tests in the supported language
does anyone have experience with this, recommendations, other strategies, and is it even viable?

I'm using Okio - https://github.com/square/okio - on a KMM project to interact with iOS and Android file systems using a common Kotlin interface.

Okio includes a FakeFileSystem - https://square.github.io/okio/3.x/okio-fakefilesystem/okio-fakefilesystem/okio.fakefilesystem/-fake-file-system/ - that is useful for test scenarios like you describe. Worth checking out, maybe it's what you're looking for.

I will definitely have a look. I suspect it's not what I'm looking for in this case, but I might be pleasantly surprised and otherwise it's always nice to have more tools
