Struggling to run individual tests/files from gutter icons (multiplatform/jvm?)

[BenWoodworth]

I'm new to kotest and started trying to add kotest to a multiplatform library of mine. running gradle :allTests seems to work fine, but I'm really struggling to run. Here's a commit that will hopefully help as a reproducer (based on the kotest/kotest-examples-multiplatform repo): https://github.com/BenWoodworth/knbt/commit/abd9dc7529b377139789d912968d326244b8f408

• disables all but the jvm/common source sets
• adds a KotestSpec.kt class, which I'll use for examples in this issue

I think it comes down to two main issues. Running the test class, and running tests within the class

Running a test class

I'm not sure if this is a issue with the kotest gradle plugin or the IDEA plugin, but when I run a test class, all of the tests are skipped

With all run configurations deleted, clicking the double green run all gutter icon -> "Run KotestSpec":

Test results


Generated run configuration


Running a specific test

Similar to before, with all run configurations deleted, clicking the first single green run gutter icon -> "Run KotestSpec: Fail test"

This time nothing appears to happen (though a run configuration is created). I'm not able to run the same test again though, since the "Run KotestSpec: Fail test" option is grayed out, in addition to the green run arrow next to the created run configuration. The only way I know how to get the run button/menu option back is to restart the IDE.

Also worth noting that this time it created an IDEA/Kotest run configuration, not a gradle task run config

Grayed out run buttons

[BenWoodworth]

The first part, "Running a test class", was fixed by upgrading my kotest-framework-engine dependency to 5.5.1 (release here)

For the second part with 5.5.1, "Running a specific test", now the run button doesn't break when I try to do a specific test, but the specific test does fail with an unspecific error when I run it:

Now though I am able to edit that run configuration to run jvmTest instead of commonTest, and that allows the test to run. On the JVM, at least :)
