How can I run tests annotated with kotlin.test.Test from the IDE in my commonTest module? IDEA doesn't recognize them as tests. Note that I'm using the kotlin-multiplatform plugin.

You cannot run common tests without a pltform. You need to have at least one platform in the project. Every platform’s tests will also include all the common tests.

I have a javascript and a jvm module

[addamsson]

but my tests are in common

[addamsson]

i don't want to move them to any of the other modules

[addamsson]

since I don't want to write them twice

[ankushg]

You shouldn't need to move them -- if you run your jvmTest task, it should run anything under jvmTest and anything under commonTest

[addamsson]

So what my problem really is

[addamsson]

is that I don't have the green triangle icon next to my test methods

[addamsson]

so I can't run them when I write them with just pressing a key combination

[natpryce]

Strange. I’ve got a multiplatform project with jvm and macosX64 targets, and IntelliJ shows the “run” icon next to my test methods. But, running from the icon only runs the test on the JVM platform.

So not perfect.

Sounds like the multiplatform support is incomplete in IntelliJ. I suggest raising YouTrack issues for what you find.

[addamsson]

Are you using the kotlin-multiplatform plugin? This was working for me before I upgraded to it.

[natpryce]

i am

[addamsson]

hm

[addamsson]

maybe they fix this for the next IDEA release
