Do Kotlin/JS tests run?

Which version of Kotest are you using
5.7.2

Running the following script:

$ git clone git@github.com:kotest/kotest-examples-javascript.git
[...]
$ cd kotest-examples-javascript
$ ./gradlew check --rerun-tasks --info
[...]

The generated test report is empty.

By editing DogTest.kt and adding an error("failed") call in the test, and rerunning the Gradle command, the report is still empty, and there is no obvious sign that a test has failed (the Gradle command finishes successfully).

I would have expected that:

• If a test fails, the Gradle execution ends with an error (like for the JVM platform)
• Successful and failed tests to appear in the generated test report

The cause is a missing Kotest plugin declaration: alias(libs.plugins.kotest.multiplatform) needs to be added to the plugins block in build.gradle.kts.
