Is the kotest plugin already use-able? I was trying it out today, I’ve been using kotest in a new project. I shared my gradle config, I also tried with test { useJUnitPlatform() } but that didn’t change anything.

I have plugin version 3.3.0.11 which I installed from the link on the github page of the plugin.
The plugin is also still named KotlinTest in my editor, it was called Kotest on the plugin website. Any ideas? Shall I open a ticket on the plugin page?

The plugin KotlinTest is retired, there is a beta plugin with the name kotest , it needs to be manually installed and setup as per the instructions here: https://github.com/kotest/kotest-intellij-plugin

Oh okay, when I went to the plugin page IntelliJ told me it could also auto install it.

So I guess that some kind of bug between IntellIJ and alpha plugins or something

Thanks @Gopal S Akshintala!

No the one on marketplace with name KotlinTest is still present, but not relevant with kotest 4.0
This is the new plugin (but it can’t be installed from marketplace as it is still under review): https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14080-kotest

I'll remove the old one once we launch the new one

[sam]

I think the new one could come out of beta as it seems pretty reliable, there's lots of us using it

I need to try to set it up again tonight with @Gopal S Akshintala’s links. (Thanks!).

Did the versioning go back to 0.9? That seems to be the latest, but there is also 4.0.11 from couple days ago

[sam]

yes

[sam]

the 4.0.x will all be deleted

Thanks @sam!
