Does kotest support native targets? There is something mentioned in get started but there is no setup show

For assertions or test layout or prop tests ?

For assertions yes (except JVM specific stuff like JDBC of course), prop testing same, and framework no. Framework is JS / JVM at the moment but <@U016VMY2A72> plans to (possibly?) tackle this.

<@U016VMY2A72> any timeframe? :grin: I could also try to help out

Yes please! Get involved. Really we just need someone to get started and set something up so we can all jump in and contribute.

My time frame is as soon as I can but probably not getting started before this weekend

I'd like to get involved too. I don't know much about native but I'm interested in learning.

Someone did some digging for us a while back, let me get the thread

Yeah I’m a bit worried about this: <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle.html#set-dependencies-on-test-libraries> it doesn’t appear like there’s any explicit kotlin.test native stuff which means it’s probably compiler plugin… which would be fun by I can’t imagine it being a quick thing

If you've heard of Spek, that has a compiler plugin for native. It hasn't been touched in a long time though but could be a starting point. <https://github.com/spekframework/spek/tree/2.x/spek-kotlin-compiler-plugin-native/src/main/kotlin/org/spekframework/spek2/kotlin>

&gt; TODO: this extension is broken starting from 1.3.7x
this doesn’t bode well though

Might be a starting point through with some ideas

this could be interesting as well:
