HI, I’m trying to use kotest for the 1st time as it looks very promising.
However, with the following test

package com.bethesomm.firebase.auth

import io.kotest.core.spec.style.FunSpec
import io.kotest.matchers.ints.shouldBeExactly


class FirebaseUserTest : FunSpec({

    test("should do whatever") {
        "hello".length shouldBeExactly 5
    }
})

I have the following error message [java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.bethesomm.firebase.auth.FirebaseUserTest]

Did I miss something?

FYI, I’m using the version 4.4.0.RC2

[sam]

are you running from gradle or intellij

[mboudraa]

intelliJ (Android Studio to be more accurate). And I installed the plugin

[sam]

sometimes Android Studio gets a bit confused and doesn't do a build first, so try forcing a build, by going to Build -> Rebuild Project

[mboudraa]

trying right now. Will report back after build is complete

[mboudraa]

Exact same problem

[sam]

hmmm not sure then

[sam]

your code is fine, it should just run

[sam]

but it definitely sounds like build / classpath issues

[mboudraa]

gradle works though 😞

[mboudraa]

im gonna restart the IDE. I haven’t after I installed the plugin

[sam]

worth a try

[sam]

it might be Android studio related, I only use intellij personally, so not familar with AS. Maybe some other user who is an android dev will have some tips.

[mboudraa]

it worked after restarting the IDE.

I feel dumb 😞

[sam]

oh wow

[sam]

well there we go

[mboudraa]

ok I actually have other problems now 😞

Every time I change a test or add a new test, I have to rebuild the project. Is it something you experienced?

[mboudraa]

otherwise it reruns the tests as if no changed happened

[sam]

No, it works fine for me.

[sam]

We need an AS user to figure that out

[mboudraa]

is there a gradle plugin I should add or something?

[sam]

https://kotest.io/docs/quickstart/

[sam]

That has the gradle setup instructions

ok I posted this in the main channel so it has more visibility. Hopefully android studio users will see it 😕
