When using pre-load or pre-run I am seeing them run twice. I would expect them to only run once.

I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Is log/error just an example? In other words, are you confident it's not the logging function? Also what version of Kaocha are you using?

[sirmspencer]

The logger is clojure.tools.logging. You are right. For some reason that's logging twice. basic println only runs onces.

[alysbrooks]

Yeah, that's strange. Kaocha does things like capturing *out* that I suppose could interact with a logging library and produce weird results. It doesn't seem like a bug in Kaocha per se, but even so, if you or anyone does have a better sense of what's happening with clojure.tools.logging and why, we could document it. If you want to explore it more, you could check out #237.
