kotlin-test vs kotlin-test-junit

Question

I have a kotlin project that is compiled to java. My test library is junit. Im using maven as my dependency management and Intellij IDEA. recently I got that strange warning in my pom.

Inspection info: If you have kotlin-test and junit dependency then most likely you better to include kotlin-test-junit instead of just kotlin-test

What is the difference between kotlin-test and kotlin-test-junit?

from what I read it seems that kotlin-test is not deprecated, so Why did intellij recommend kotlin-test-junit instead of kotlin-test?

Answer 1

So I found the answer here (I don't understand how I missed it in my first search)

In short kotlin-test library provides a set of annotations and utility functions independently of the test framework.

Where kotlin-test-junit library provides an implementation on top of Junit Asserter and the annotations and utility functions kotlin-test provides.
