Hello all... kotest newbie here! So, I would like to have the tests output formatted something like RSpec style:

....F.....*.....

I use this Gradle plugin: https://github.com/radarsh/gradle-test-logger-plugin Works OK, it does not provide the short, compressed logging you're after, and error counts are reported incorrectly with kotest. I have not had a chance to look into why and send a PR.

The reason error counts are reported wrong is because gradle doesn't understand nested tests properly. If you do this:

test("outer test") {
   test("inner test") { 
   }
}
