Compilation error when using kotest-assertions-core-jvm without kotest runner dependency

See original GitHub issue

According to the docs, to use assertions library it should be enough to add one dependency io.kotest:kotest-assertions-core-jvm:<version>. Unfortunately this doesn’t work, some matchers cannot be resolved and compilation fails. Here’s a minimal project that reproduces the problem: https://github.com/akowal/kotest-deps-issue/

I think its because in 4.0.x the dependency is implementation(project(“:kotest-assertions”)) In master its api. I’ll release 4.0.6 with this fix and some others.

When I use the latest snapshot, this problem doesn’t exist anymore. Here is a copy of @akowal’s repository that uses the latest snapshot: https://github.com/TheNumberOne/kotest-deps-issue
