Testing on the Kotlin track

Learn how to test your Kotlin exercises on Exercism

Running the Tests

  1. Get an exercise:

    $ exercism download -track=kotlin --exercise=hello-world

  2. Change directory into the exercise:

    $ cd <path_to_exercise_directory>

  3. Run the tests:

    $ ./gradlew test

On most exercises, only the first test is run by default.
The other tests are annotated with @Ignore to skip them.
As you solve each test, remove the @Ignore from the next one to progress.

This is common practice in test-driven development (or TDD for short). It is used to ensure that you are working on one problem at a time.

Good luck! Have fun!
