v6.1.0

Compare Source

The first Kotest release of 2026 is here - 6.1 'Bouncing Boimler'

• Compatible with Kotlin 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3
• Enhanced data-testing with new syntax that mirrors the spec style to enable more intuitive tests. This also gives you control over how data tests interact with test lifecycle callbacks!
• Much improved IDE plugin support including running individual tests for native targets and fixes for many long standing issues. Re-run tests and jump to source for all nested tests in JVM mode
• The test framework has been updated with Jasmine style f-focused syntax to mirror the x-disabled syntax.
• Support for JUnit 6 via the new kotest-runner-junit6 module.
• The popular TestContainers extension has been updated to support Docker ComposeContainers. Also now with an option to pipe the container logs directly into the test output for easier debugging!
• Full support for the Gradle test-retry plugin.
• Many improvements and bug fixes to our assertions library including support for custom equality in shouldBe assertions
• New assertions added such as shouldBeAtMost(x) and shouldBeAtLeast(y) for primitives. A reminder that assertions don't require the Kotest test framework. They are still the best Kotlin assertions library, in our opinion, even if you are using JUnit or another test framework.
• Recreate race conditions easily using our parallel runner.
• Various property test improvements such as new Arb types for arrays and support for specifying Arb collection sizes globally. Just like assertions, the property testing library doesn't require the Kotest test framework.
