I am not able to run my tests in commonTest. Am I missing some setup in configuration in Android studio?

[vanniktech]

I can’t run them either

Testing support in the IDE is very flaky right now. You’ll have to rely on the command line for runnign your tests.

Thanks @saket that worked 🙂

If you make your common test abstract you can extend it inside androidTest (this being the source set where you have android specific tests) and it will run from Android Studio.

small side note, someone can correct me if i just did something wrong, but if you’re going to be targeting js, your tests won’t compile with ` in the function names (illegal character). i used underscores to get around that

[saket]

would that be the case for all non-JVM targets?

[Jess Brent]

not quite sure, maybe someone else can chime in, i’m only targeting jvm/js right now 🙂

[emmano]

You can still use the ` notation and use @JsName() to specify a test name for JS targets

[emmano]

They explain how to do it here since the original @JsName is not part of the common module
