having a little trouble getting tests to run in sub sub proj

Question

having a little trouble getting tests to run in sub sub project eg <https docs gradle org current userguide intro multi project builds html sec multiproject build and test> it would be ` services shared test`

Peter · Answer

i can see them being compiled to ` services shared build classes kotlin test ` they are located in ` services shared src test kotlin` edited

Peter · Answer

all other tests runs fine ` services ` itself has no tests

Peter · Answer

using ` gradlew i rerun tasks services shared clean services shared test` reults in `SUCCESS Executed 0 tests in 1 7s`

Peter · Answer

in my root project i have ```subprojects tasks withType lt Test gt useJUnitPlatform ```

sam · Answer

Is this kotest you re using

Peter · Answer

yes slightly smiling face

sam · Answer

JVM or multi platform

Peter · Answer

JVM

4 4 1

sam · Answer

Take a look at this JVM project of mine that uses kotest <https github com sksamuel hoplite>

sam · Answer

You should be able to use the gradle files or get inspiration from them

Peter · Answer

do you have any sub sub projects in there don t see any at first glance

sam · Answer

no

sam · Answer

sorry I didn t spot that

sam · Answer

I don t know why it would be different Maybe subprojects only goes one level deep

Peter · Answer

yea i even tried add the same subproject stanza to ` service` but no dice

wasyl · Answer

I have sub subprojects and haven t had issues with Kotest

wasyl · Answer

You can try ` gradlew i rerun tasks services shared test` without `clean` task you don t really need it with ` rerun tasks` anyway

wasyl · Answer

btw you want to use ```tasks withType lt Test gt configureEach ``` to benefit from lazy task configuration

Peter · Answer

yea just making sure it s not skipping due to cache but none of the permutations works disappointed

wasyl · Answer

yeah ` rerun tasks` alone makes sure there s no caching or up to date avoidance Are you sure you ve added proper dependencies as well I d suggest that you configure Kotest in the `services shared build gradle` directly until you can run the tests and only then start extracting the build logic

Peter · Answer

configure Kotest directly is there something more than what i currently have ```dependencies api project p8e proto implementation let it Libraries ProvenanceCoreProto testImplementation let it Libraries KotlinXCoRoutinesTest it Libraries Kotest it Libraries KotestAssertions it Libraries KotlinLogging tasks withType lt Test gt useJUnitPlatform ```

wasyl · Answer

thinking face I also have `junit5` dependency applied

Peter · Answer

hmm is that not transitively included from ```const val Kotest = io kotest kotest runner junit5 jvm $ Versions Kotest ```

Peter · Answer

i dont have it declared in any of the other sub projects and no problems there

wasyl · Answer

Anyway by gt configure Kotest directly I meant to have entire project configuration in the subproject s `build gradle` directly In one of the previous snippets you mentioned having `subprojects ` in root build gradle file that s why I suggested to not use root build gradle but just make sure you have all the proper configuration in the subproject build gradle

Peter · Answer

let me throw it in for posterity

wasyl · Answer

But anyway if the tests work in some other subproject but not in that specific one then it s difficult to say You can try comparing the dependencies ` gradlew workingProject dependencies` vs ` gradlew notWorking dependencies` for example

wasyl · Answer

Check that the paths are the same maybe `kotlin` source sets aren t set properly I used to put everything under `src java ` to be sure

Peter · Answer

ok thanks let me double check those a bit
