Using #kotest to test your #kotlin code?

I wrote a small post about tweaking some Kotest settings related to classpath scanning in order to achieve faster test run times. Hope it's of use to someone 🙂

In #kotest tests are just functions. So they can be extracted into other extension functions like this:

fun FunSpec.someTests() {
test("1") {...}
test("2") {...}
}

Clever but the problem is that you can't run just one test from IDE 😒 Use abstract class instead? #UXfail

Are you ready for #Hacktoberfest!?

I've prepared my #JetBrains #Ktor #ArrowKt
example with #SqlDelight
#testcontainers and #kotest in #Kotlin with 19 issues for hacktoberfest!

I'll be giving personal guidance to everyone wanting to learn, and contribute.
