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…
Copy code
class SimpleTest : FunSpec({
    test("just a simple test") {
        1 + 1 shouldBe 2
    }
})
Here’s the log output I see prior to cancelling the execution (it didn’t report any new progress for ~5 minutes).

Did you enable junit5 in your gradle build ?
What version of kotest ?
l
What version of Gradle?

I have
useJUnitPlatform
set in my gradle script. I’m using
4.0.0-BETA2
and my gradle version is
5.2.1
. This is the full build config, it’s for a project I put down for a few months and am coming back to so I’m going to update a few things (such as the kotlin version).
Copy code
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile

plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.3.61"
}

group = "dev.engel.fakek"
version = "0.1-SNAPSHOT"

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation(kotlin("stdlib-jdk8"))
    implementation("com.github.javafaker:javafaker:1.0.2")

    testImplementation("io.kotest:kotest-runner-junit5-jvm:4.0.0-BETA2")
}

tasks.withType<KotlinCompile> {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}

tasks.withType<Test> {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}
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:
