How to have hierarchical test report with Kotlintest and Gradle

Question

I'm trying to get a hierarchical test report from Kotlintest using Gradle. I've seen some screenshots allowing it, however, I have no luck. For any type of tests (FunSpec, WordSpec, BehaviorSpec etc) I always see only the class name and then the "leaf" tests.

• Gradle 5.6.2
• Kotlintest 3.4.2
• JUnit Platform 1.5.2

Sample test class

import io.kotlintest.matchers.string.shouldStartWith
import io.kotlintest.specs.FunSpec

class HierarchicalTest : FunSpec({
    context("Here is a context 1") {
        test("Test 1") {
            "abc".shouldStartWith("a")
        }
    }

    context("Here is a context 2") {
        test("Test 2") {
            "abc".shouldStartWith("b")
        }
    }
})

build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.3.41'
}

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8"
    testImplementation 'ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.2.3'
    testImplementation 'io.kotlintest:kotlintest-runner-junit5:3.4.2'
    testImplementation 'org.junit.platform:junit-platform-engine:1.5.2'
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

IntelliJ result

Gradle report

What do I need to do to have the context level visible in the report?

I'm on Idea 2018.3.2 and I recreated project with your sources and for me it works. I guess this behavious correlates with the way you run tests. Because I ran tests via Idea and it's green arrows for tests.

I guess you run tests via gradle tasks? If so, Idea can show results differently This is how it looks like when I run gradle test task via gradle plugin in IDEA
