Hey everyone I m trying to run a sample test with kotest but it never gets past the `Extensions` step when I stop the execution it ends saying `Test events were not received` This is the sample test I m trying to run ```class SimpleTest FunSpec test just a simple test 1 + 1 shouldBe 2 ```

Hmmm it looks like the readme and reference are out of sync On the readme which I was using it suggests to use ` jvm` for the kotest dependency while the reference suggests dropping ` jvm` When I remove the ` jvm` dependency the tests don t run as they are unable to resolve the following dependencies ```import io kotest core spec style FunSpec import io kotest matchers shouldBe```
