Hello guys,
If I found inconsistency in idea code analysis for kotlin-test library, where should I put a ticket or at least check for the ticket?
Thank you 🙂

Since @sam didn't self-promote, as a very happy user, I'll do it. ;)

Or consider switching to Kotest. Full featured testing and assertions. The kotlin-test library is ok for simple projects, and simple tests, but Kotest covers a lot more in a single library, and the team is very responsive. Just skim this channel for evidence of that.

Interesting library, I has been thinking about migration tohttps://www.spekframework.org/ and kotest looks similar, also in production I’m using Spock because I’m in love with parametrised testing, but it is groovy 🙂 Therefore support of parametrised testing in kotest looks like a good point for the library investigation. Can you please share any good articles about kotest ?

I followed Spek, and I think they finally got v2 released, but I don't think it's on par with Kotest. It got a lot of traction because it was started by Hadi, and it was under the Jetbrains repo for awhile, so people assumed it was officially supported.

As to a good article, I'd just start with the docs. Given you're already familiar with testing (Spock is amazing!), I suspect that will be sufficient.

And if not, feel free to ask for assistance here.

Also we have a kick ass intellij plugin about to be released

Awesome news! The current one is adequate, so I look forward to it being 'kick ass'.

There's a new window which is far more powerful

Definitely looks amazing. One of the many reasons I continue to use, and promote, Kotest.
