ok

I got describe spec working

so just the more unusual ones left to migrate to the new framework

also we do have too many specs imo but I don’t know what we could get rid of

Why do we need to get rid of any?

well we don’t

I just think we have a load that no one uses

it just complicates the kotlin test message

Maybe we can take the more unused Specs a little bit underground

or just delete them see what happens 😂

Is it still ultra easy to write a custom Spec?

well no harder than it was

actually probably a bit easier

At most we're forcing people to define their own least used spec

I’m happy to add them, but then deprecate the shit ones

We now support JS testing in the current 4.0 snapshot. Very little configuration required, and the full test life cycle is supported (before/after etc) in addition to options like global asserts, timeouts and test ordering. You can use property testing, table testing, inspectors, nearly all the assertions. See https://github.com/kotlintest/kotlintest/tree/master/kotest-examples/kotest-examples-javascript for a basic example. (There are some caveats due to limitations in what kotlin-js and the javascript test frameworks allow.)

Maybe we want to get that out the specific JS channel and ask for feedback?

That's a good idea but someone other than me should try it first

I don't even know how to hello world a js project

Look at the example project I made

I was actually willing to try Kotlin JS for some AWS lambda shit.

I didn't want to use Javascript directly, and Kotlin JVM has some cold start issues

That would be an amazing blog

Maybe i could try it

Go bot go!

I don't know if it'll work on gradle kts
