### Test suites

This project uses gradle 9 which requires specifying test classes and paths explicitly.

For example, this will NOT work because it registers a `Test` without specifying the test classes or paths:

```kotlin
tasks.register<Test>("IntegrationTestUserCreds") {
dependsOn(tasks.shadowJar)
dependsOn(tasks.named("copyAgent"))
...
}
```

This is fixed by specifying the test classes and classpath explicitly:

```kotlin
tasks.register<Test>("IntegrationTestUserCreds") {
testClassesDirs = sourceSets.test.get().output.classesDirs
classpath = sourceSets.test.get().runtimeClasspath

dependsOn(tasks.shadowJar)
dependsOn(tasks.named("copyAgent"))
...
}
```
