hi, is it possible to pass some arguments to the tests?

[Francisco Javier Ruiz Rodriguez]

Yep:

companion object {
        @JvmStatic
        fun generateArguments() = listOf(
            Arguments.of(
                "bla bla bla",
             "bla bla bla"
            )
        )
}

@ParameterizedTest
    @MethodSource("generateArguments")
    fun fooTest(url: String, expected: String) {
        url.extension1 `should be equal to` expected
    }

is it possible to integrate it with CI?

[Francisco Javier Ruiz Rodriguez]

Depends on your CI, but I think yes

GH action

[Francisco Javier Ruiz Rodriguez]

Never used it, sorry!

[elect]

what do you use?

[Francisco Javier Ruiz Rodriguez]

Right now I'm using Bitrise and CircleCI, I've used also Jenkins and planning to use Github actions

I'm confused. This is a kotest channel, yet that code looks like JUnit5.

Kotest supports both property based testing and data-driven testing (which is effectively what the above example is).

Data driven testing like @Mike says and in 4.0 you can use test factories for completely dynamic tests.

@sam can you help me? How can I pass arguments?

See the code samples in the docs. It's a slightly different format than JUnit as you construct the data table, and then iterate on the rows, but the docs are quite clear on how to use it.

I linked to the docs above in the thread.
