Hi all. I'm new to Kotest, but I am loving it. I'm writing a library that needs to be cross platform so using MPP, and Kotest for my all my tests. I can't seem to run my tests in iOS because of a linking error, and was hoping to get some help.

> Task :my-library:linkDebugTestIosX64 FAILED
e: Could not find "io.kotest:kotest-assertions-api" in [ ... ]
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

// kotestVersion = "5.1.0"
commonTest {

}

I don't use a mac. Maybe @Imran/Malic has seen a similar error

Thanks @sam. This is unfortunately blocking my progress so I hope to figure it out soon 😄

Ok might make sense to ask them yeah

I ran

./gradlew iosX64Test --info

and it might be an issue integrating

kotest-assertions-arrow

Does it work if you remove hte arrow deps ?

I'm migrating an existing codebase, so it would fail at the compilation step

ah

I also ported all the tests from Junit to Kotest, and love the Arrow matchers

Yeah me too.

It issue might be a packaging issue for the native code. as I notice

compileOnly

dependencies which MPP does give a warning about (however they've been suppressed via the

gradle.properties

)

maybe

Interesting. I haven't had an issue using Arrow itself. It's the tests that have given me issue.

Arrow is great, was just having an issue adding it to commonMain

If there's anything I can do @Imran/Malic to help, please let me know 😄

Hi, @kierans777 I am on a different timezone, that’s why I didn’t answer. Thanks for bringing this up. I was able to reproduce it here https://github.com/arrow-kt/Arrow-MPP-Template/pull/25. Let me create a PR in kotest-arrow to change the dependency tree. And then we can ask @sam to publish a new release I don’t have access to that

@Imran/Malic Thanks so much ❤️ (I know from your profile that you're in GMT+1 so I had to wait. I'm in Melbourne Aus so GMT+11)

Issue is set up and let me check with a local publication if my changes work https://github.com/kotest/kotest-extensions-arrow/issues/140

Happy for you to merge without me btw

I'm probably going to bed now, so tag me if you need anything. Hopefully it's an easy fix 🙏

I went through some publications locally, but changing the dependency tree didn’t work. I am going to try something out later after work in 6h. I’ll keep y’all updated

I was talking about another project I have. I can talk to you about it later on.

I am probably going to look into this in the following days, and ask other maintainers at Arrow @kierans777, probably we’re doing something wrong while publishing the artifacts in

kotest-assertions-arrow

Thanks @Imran/Malic.

Yeah seems all native targets are affected

@Imran/Malic The build works now. Great job. Thanks 🙏

We published

1.2.3

as a stable release thanks to @sam 🙌🏾 and @kierans777 for bringing it up
