Hi! Why are versions of "kotest-core-jvm" lagging behind "kotest-assertions-core-jvm" etc?

[sam]

core is an old module no longer needed

[Marius Kotsbak]

Hmm, so where to get FunSpec from then?

[sam]

This will run through the modules you need for a particular setup https://kotest.io/docs/quickstart

[Marius Kotsbak]

Yeah, but not mentioning how to get the DSL test styles.

[sam]

they come in as part of kotest-framework-api, but that will be brought in automatically when you add the junit runner

[sam]

are you JVM based ?

[Marius Kotsbak]

Ah, I was lacking junit runner before I added that old lib. Looks like I can just remove it then.

[Marius Kotsbak]

Yes

[sam]

ok so then yeah all you need is testImplementation 'io.kotest:kotest-runner-junit5:$version'

[sam]

that's the junit platform runner but it brings in the other stuff you need

[sam]

If you want assertions too then testImplementation 'io.kotest:kotest-assertions-core:$version'

[Marius Kotsbak]

Yeah, got it to work then, thanks! 🙂

[sam]

awesome
