I have used Scalatest a while and it seems Kotlintest ([GitHub - kotest/kotest: Powerful, elegant and flexible test framework for Kotlin with additional assertions, property testing and data driven testing](https://github.com/kotlintest/kotlintest)) is very similar. However, when using the Scala plugin in Intellij, creating a new Test using the “Create New Test …” shortcut would give me the option to select Scalatest as testing framework. For the Kotlin plugin, I don’t see a Kotlintest option. Is this simply not supported at the moment or am I missing some (gradle?) setup?
