Kotest: Folder ".kotlintest" created on every run

[xerus2000]

Whenever I run my tests, a ".kotlintest" folder containing an empty "spec_failures" file is created in my project root. I really dislike behaviour like this and don't really understand why the file is created at all if it is empty in the end.
If you have to create it, please at least put it somewhere in the "build" folder.

We should move it to the build folder, and not write it at all if it's empty.
In the meantime, you can disable it with -Dkotlintest.write.specfailures = false

[sksamuel]

I think for 3.3.2 we should revert the default behavior on this to be disabled.

This has been fixed in 3.3.2 @Xerus2000

@sksamuel @Kerooker How can I set the path for .kotlintest. I'd like it to be in the build folder.

[sksamuel]

You can't, yet. You can tun it off though.

I have tried 3.3.3 and 3.4.0, concretely testImplementation("io.kotlintest", "kotlintest-runner-junit5", "3.4.0"). Running ./gradlew test still generates .kotlintest folders.

PS: @sksamuel just a little github tip: Instead of referencing the issue in the title, you can write "fixes #720" into the commit message and the issue will automatically be closed once the commit is merged ;)
