Configuration

You might want to access data from a configuration file.
Kest configuration relies on https://github.com/sksamuel/hoplite
You may add your entries in a file named kest.yaml which will be located at the root of your classpath
All data from this file has to be mapped to a kotlin data class.

Then you can access your configuration by calling function property:

kest.yml

mykey: myvalue
myotherkey: myothervalue

domain:
  akey: a value
  anotherkey: anothervalue

Configuration data class

data class Properties(
    val mykey: String,
    val myotherkey: String,
    val domain: Domain
)

data class Domain(
    val akey: String,
    val anotherkey: String
)

Access configuration

property(Properties::class) { myKey }
property(Properties::class) { myValue }
property(Properties::class) { domain.akey }
property(Properties::class) { domain.anotherkey }

// or with you may create your own shortcut:
fun <R> props(prop: Properties.() -> R) = property(Properties::class) { prop() }
// and then use it like that:
props { myKey }
props { myValue }
props { domain.akey }
props { domain.anotherkey }

Change kest.yml location

If you need to set another location for Kest you can run tests with property kest-conf or environment variable KEST_CONF with the location you need
