Run tests

Required dependencies

The kotlin.test API is available for multiplatform tests. When you create a multiplatform project, the Project Wizard automatically adds test dependencies to common and platform-specific source sets.

If you didn’t use the Project Wizard to create your project, you can add the dependencies manually.

Run tests for one or more targets

To run tests for all targets, run the check task.

To run tests for a particular target suitable for testing, run a test task <targetName>Test.

Test shared code

For testing shared code, you can use actual declarations in your tests.

For example, to test the shared code in commonMain:

expect object Platform { val name: String } fun hello(): String = "Hello from ${Platform.name}" class Proxy { fun proxyHello() = hello() } 

You can use the following test in commonTest:

import kotlin.test.Test import kotlin.test.assertTrue class SampleTests { @Test fun testProxy() { assertTrue(Proxy().proxyHello().isNotEmpty()) } } 

And the following test in iosTest:

import kotlin.test.Test import kotlin.test.assertTrue class SampleTestsIOS { @Test fun testHello() { assertTrue("iOS" in hello()) } }
