Compose Extension doesn't execute inside a test

[sarimmehdi]

class ExampleInstrumentedTest {

    @JvmField
    @RegisterExtension
    @ExperimentalTestApi
    val extension = createComposeExtension()

    @OptIn(ExperimentalTestApi::class)
    @Test
    fun test() {
        extension.use {
            setContent {
                MainScreen()
            }

            onNodeWithTag(SCREEN_A_TEST_TAG).assertTextEquals("false")
            println("should be here")
        }
        println("but instead I am here")
    }
}

In the above, inside test(), the code inside extension.use never executes. I know that because I do not see the print statement I put inside the code block ("should be here"). However, I do see "but instead I am here" which means extension.use was never executed. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. I am simply following the comment here: https://github.com/mannodermaus/android-junit5/issues/234#issuecomment-1551463208
