Hello! Can anyone give me a clue why StringSpecScope doesn’t implement ContainerScope? It appeared that I can’t use io.kotest.core.datatest.forAll inside StringSpec (or I haven’t found a way…)

[sam]

Use 4.4 :)

[Mikhail Galanin]

Indeed, it works with 4.4 RC2 :)

[Mikhail Galanin]

Although… Is it possible to have “sub-tests” in the results?

[sam]

It should be doing that if you're using the newer data test stuff

[sam]

which import are you using

[Mikhail Galanin]

import io.kotest.core.datatest.forAll
import io.kotest.core.spec.style.StringSpec
import io.kotest.matchers.shouldBe

class T002GeneratorTest : StringSpec({

    "Generate list of integer" {
        forAll(1, 2, 3) { value ->
            value shouldBe value + 0
        }
    }
})

[sam]

Looks right

[sam]

Actually this is broken, so don't use it

[sam]

It's not registering the tests at all

Thank you!

[Mikhail Galanin]

ookay, it looks like in RC3 nothing changed. So, I reckon the initial question is still the same…

[sam]

so the issue is that you cannot nest tests with string spec

[sam]

that's always been the case and I guess recently some regression came in that allowed it, but silently dropped it

[sam]

in RC3 it's supposed to at least error when you do this

[Mikhail Galanin]

so the issue is that you cannot nest tests with string spec

that was actually the question: why I cannot?

in RC3 it’s supposed to at least error when you do this

I’m probably doing something wrong but I don’t see the error 😞
