HTML report is generated outside of the build directory

[aSemy]

I've configured the Kotest HTML report. However, the files are generated outside of the build directory.

I tried configuring HtmlReporter to set the directory, but this didn't work

// https://kotest.io/docs/framework/project-config.html
internal class KotestConfig : AbstractProjectConfig() {

    override val specExecutionOrder = SpecExecutionOrder.Lexicographic

    override fun extensions(): List<Extension> = listOf(

        // https://kotest.io/docs/extensions/junit_xml.html
        JunitXmlReporter(
            includeContainers = false,
            useTestPathAsName = true,
        ),

        // https://kotest.io/docs/extensions/html_reporter.html
        HtmlReporter(
            // This doesn't seem to work:
            "./build/reports/test"
        ),
    )
    }
}

As a workaround I can configured the Gradle tasks to set the gradle.build.dir property.

// build.gradle.kts

tasks.withType<Test>().configureEach {

    // required by Kotest JUnit XML https://github.com/kotest/kotest/issues/3306
    systemProperty("gradle.build.dir", project.buildDir)

    // disable the Gradle reports - Kotest will generate them
    reports.html.required.set(false)
    reports.junitXml.required.set(false)
}

Versions

• Kotlin 1.7.21
• Kotest 5.5.4
• Gradle 7.5.1
