Hi all, I am willing to use Kotest to test my multi-platform library (targets jvm, js and native). So I have a few questions that I can't fully answer with what I've gathered from the kotest.io documentation website. I hope you'll be able to answer those and I thank you in advance.

I figured out that I had to add those dependencies to my commonTest source-set:

implementation("io.kotest:kotest-framework-engine:$kotestVersion")
                implementation("io.kotest:kotest-framework-datatest:$kotestVersion")

I also had to add this dependencies to my jvmTest source-set, to have the tests picked up by JUnit:

implementation("io.kotest:kotest-runner-junit5:$kotestVersion")

1. What are the corresponding ways to have tests picked up for JS and Native targets?
2. It seems to me that kotest-framework-datatest is not yet supported on Native target? (cf. https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:io.kotest%20kotest-framework-datatest) Will this be supported at some point? (I don't seem to see anything in its source code https://github.com/kotest/kotest/tree/master/kotest-framework/kotest-framework-datatest that would prevent it from running on Native, except the fact that the target is not defined in the Gradle build file. Or am I missing something?)

What version

[Didier Villevalois]

Ah sorry, forgot to say 5.0.0.RC.

These are the docs for multiplatform on the 5.0 release candidate https://kotest.io/docs/framework/multiplatform.html

See if that helps

2. I've just pushed a change to add all targets for datatest. That is definitely an oversight. Thanks for spotting that!

Thanks I'll try with the gradle plugin right now!
