Hi, i’ve just updated my kotlin version to 1.4.0, i updated the intellij plugin i updated my gradle build script all of that stuff. i went to run my tests and it says it fails in <init> saying Could not initialize class io.kotest.core.test.TestResult

You need to wait for 4.2.0 which will be released Wednesday

[WukongRework.exe]

oh so it’s a compatibility thing with Kotlin 1.4.0?

[sam]

Yes

[WukongRework.exe]

ah ok thanks!

[Ian]

Ah, so the only solution for now is to downgrade Kotlin?

[sam]

Well it's only been out 24 hours 😂

[sam]

Latest snapshot should work, that is built with 1.4.0
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/io/kotest/kotest-runner-junit5-jvm/4.2.0.502-SNAPSHOT/

[Ian]

Some people are OCD about these things 🙂 Thanks, will try snapshot

[sam]

Yeah I know, we're working to get it out. I think it's good to go, once it's tested a bit more thoroughly later, I will release 4.2.0.RC3 and an updated intellij plugin. If that's all good, then it will become 4.2.0 final

[Ian]

Unable to resolve, do I need to add a different repository?

testImplementation("io.kotest:kotest-runner-junit5-jvm:4.2.0.502-SNAPSHOT") 
    testImplementation("io.kotest:kotest-assertions-core-jvm:4.2.0.502-SNAPSHOT") 
    testImplementation("io.kotest:kotest-property-jvm:4.2.0.502-SNAPSHOT")

[sam]

you need the maven snapshots repo

[sam]

only the releases one is added when you do mavenCentral()

[sam]

maven {
    url "<https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/>"
}

Seems to be a dependency issue on kotlinx-datetime:

Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-datetime:0.1.0.
Searched in the following locations:
  - <https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-datetime/0.1.0/kotlinx-datetime-0.1.0.pom>
  - <https://jitpack.io/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-datetime/0.1.0/kotlinx-datetime-0.1.0.pom>
  - <https://jcenter.bintray.com/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-datetime/0.1.0/kotlinx-datetime-0.1.0.pom>
  - <https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-datetime/0.1.0/kotlinx-datetime-0.1.0.pom>
Required by:
    project : > io.kotest:kotest-assertions-core-jvm:4.2.0.502-SNAPSHOT:20200818.152631-1

Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html>

[Ian]

ah, looks like I need bintray repo

[sam]

you should only need that if you're using the new assertions library for kotlinx

[sam]

I see it was left in the main assertions by mistake, I've stripped that out for next build

[Ian]

I'm guessing this is a due to a version mismatch with the kotest IDEA plugin?

[sam]

Yep the current plugin is not built against 4.2.0

[sam]

The next plugin release with work with both 4.2.x and 4.1.x

[WukongRework.exe]

i think i’ll just wait for the new plugin and new version XD

[sam]

lol might be easier. I hope tonight, latest tomorrow.

[WukongRework.exe]

ok cool!

[Skolson5903]

I'm seeing something similar with 1.4.0 and Kotest 4.2.0 (regular, not snapshot) in android studio,
using a StringSpec with a test listener:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/kotest/core/engine/TestEngineListener

Should I try snapshot?

[sam]

It's the plugin - we're waiting on jetbrains to approve the latest release. There's always a lag as they vet everything.

[Skolson5903]

Cool, thanks

[sam]

https://github.com/kotest/kotest/issues/1641

[sam]

there's a plugin attached to that you can use

[Skolson5903]

That zip looks like it's for Intellij, correct? Is there one yet for AS?

[Skolson5903]

I'm currently using 1.1.11-IC-2019.3

[sam]

Ok I can build it for 2019 as well

[Skolson5903]

Wow, thanks!

[sam]

kotest-plugin-intellij-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT-IC-2019.3.zip

[sam]

Let me know if that's ok

[Skolson5903]

Yup that zip fixes the issue. The version in the zip looks older than current, so I should just ignore the auto update requests for now, right?

[sam]

The zip is up to date, I just use the same snapshot version. When you get the update prompt you can update to get rid of it (it will be the same content though)

[Skolson5903]

Thanks! I'm good to go...
