guys, is it possible to write tests in the `commonTest`? what platform will run it?

guys, is it possible to write tests in the commonTest? what platform will run it?

[Grégory Lureau]

you can use kotlin.test, looks similar to junit

[deviant]

i have a problem. i can't resolve any dependency from my commonMain module inside of test

[Grégory Lureau]

You've to use commonTest

[deviant]

yes. i'm trying. but can't resolve any lib dependency. like koin, coroutines etc

[deviant]

i tried also this:

val commonTest by getting {
            dependsOn(commonMain)
...

didn't help

[Grégory Lureau]

val commonTest by getting

it's enough

[Grégory Lureau]

not enough information to help there, maybe it's an OSS project?

[deviant]

it's a kmm project created by android studio wizard

I added deps directly to the commonTest and then gradle task shared:test to run them.

Deps are test-common and test-annotations-common

[deviant]

thanks. i wanted to avoid repeating the dependencies

[Matti MK]

For me those are different than the deps in commonMain, no test deps there

[deviant]

i mean a have to add koin, coroutines and all other stuff directly to the commonTest module to get it to work

[Matti MK]

Ah, right. I misunderstood 👍 Not that far yet with the testing myself

[Matti MK]

I tested quickly whether deps are resolved on the commonTest sources from `commonMain`: seems like it works. I don’t have a dependsOn even 🤔

val commonTest by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(kotlin(Deps.Kotlin.Test.common))
                implementation(kotlin(Deps.Kotlin.Test.annotations))
            }
        }

[Grégory Lureau]

I agree commonTest should already have all commonMain dependencies, a bit weird to have to repeat 😕

[Matti MK]

Did you figure it out?
