Android Kotlin 单元测试因 io.mockk.MockKException 失败：找不到答案

Question

EDIT: For future readers. I don't know if this question will help you very much.The logic of the fun has changed drastically so I am closing the question, but won't delete it.

I am trying to write some unit tests for my ViewModel. I am using Mockk and Junit5.

What should happen: The mockked repository returns fakeresponse, I call the fun in the VM, it sets the livedata to be the fake response data.

What actually happens:

This is the test

@ExtendWith(value = [InstantExecutorExtension::class, TestSchedulerExtension::class])
internal class DrillsSelectionViewModelTest{

    val mockkDrillRepository = mockk<DrillRepository>()

    lateinit var drillsSelectionViewModel : DrillsSelectionViewModel

    @BeforeEach
    fun setup(){

        drillsSelectionViewModel = DrillsSelectionViewModel(mockkDrillRepository)

        val fakeResponse = Observable.just(DrillsType("title1", "url1"), DrillsType("title2","url2"))


        every{ mockkDrillRepository.loadDrillTypes()} returns fakeResponse

    }

    @Test
    fun `should update the livedata with correct data from the repository`(){

        drillsSelectionViewModel.fetchDrillTypes()

        assertEquals(arrayListOf(DrillsType("title1", "url1"), DrillsType("title2","url2")), getValue(drillsSelectionViewModel.drillsTypeList.value))

    }

}

These are the two classes that are extended in the test

class InstantExecutorExtension : BeforeEachCallback, AfterEachCallback {

    override fun beforeEach(context: ExtensionContext?) {
        ArchTaskExecutor.getInstance().setDelegate(object : TaskExecutor() {
            override fun executeOnDiskIO(runnable: Runnable) {
                runnable.run()
            }

            override fun postToMainThread(runnable: Runnable) {
                runnable.run()
            }

            override fun isMainThread(): Boolean {
                return true
            }
        })
    }

    override fun afterEach(context: ExtensionContext?) {
        ArchTaskExecutor.getInstance().setDelegate(null)
    }

}

class TestSchedulerExtension : BeforeTestExecutionCallback, AfterTestExecutionCallback {

    override fun beforeTestExecution(context: ExtensionContext?) {
        RxJavaPlugins.setIoSchedulerHandler { Schedulers.trampoline() }
        RxJavaPlugins.setComputationSchedulerHandler { Schedulers.trampoline() }
        RxJavaPlugins.setNewThreadSchedulerHandler { Schedulers.trampoline() }
        RxAndroidPlugins.setMainThreadSchedulerHandler { Schedulers.trampoline() }
    }

    override fun afterTestExecution(context: ExtensionContext?) {
        RxJavaPlugins.reset()
        RxAndroidPlugins.reset()
    }

}

This is the SUT

class DrillsSelectionViewModel(private val repository: DrillRepository): ViewModel() {

    private val compositeDisposable = CompositeDisposable()

    private var _drillsTypeList = MutableLiveData<ArrayList<DrillsType>>()
    val drillsTypeList: LiveData<ArrayList<DrillsType>>
        get() = _drillsTypeList


    init{

        fetchDrillTypes()
    }

    fun fetchDrillTypes()
    {

        val list = ArrayList<DrillsType>()

        viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
            compositeDisposable += repository.loadDrillTypes()
                .subscribeWith(object : DisposableObserver<DrillsType>() {

                    override fun onError(e: Throwable) {
                        Log.d("TAG", e?.message)
                    }

                    override fun onNext(data: DrillsType) {
                        Log.d("TAG", "data is " + data.toString())
                        list.add(data)
                    }

                    override fun onComplete() {
                        Log.d("TAG", "COMPLETE")
                        _drillsTypeList.postValue(list)
                    }
                })
        }
    }


    override fun onCleared() {
        super.onCleared()
        if (!compositeDisposable.isDisposed) {
            compositeDisposable.dispose()
        }
    }

}

The DOC

    fun loadDrillTypes(): Observable<DrillsType> {
        return remoteDataSource.loadDrillTypes()
    }


    fun loadDrillList(drillType : String): Observable<Drill> {
        return remoteDataSource.loadDrillList(drillType)
    }
}

What I tried:

1. Removing the coroutines from the mix. I thought that removing "viewmodelscope.launch" would make the test work as I thought it had something to do with coroutines and them not finishing or something in time or not listening on the proper thread.

2. Tried using the 2 extended classes posted below(to replace the Instant Execution Rule in JUnit4)

3. Googling a lot to find similar issues...

Sorry for the long post, any more info or code that you need feel free to ask.If possible also point out some mistakes/ things that could be done better. Any answer with explanation is much appreciated. I really want to understand what is the underlying issue. Thank you very much!

edit: I am considering it might be something due to RXKotlin

Answer 1

In your setup() method, you're creating a viewmodel first and then configuring your mock reponse in the repository after. However, your viewmodel tries to get that response from the repository immediately on instantiation (in fetchDrillTypes() which is called from the init block), so it happens before the mock is ready. You just need to reorder the calls in setup() so that drillsSelectionViewModel = ... happens last.

Answer 2

I got this error on io.mockk:mockk:$mockkVersion:1.11.0 the day before it was working but on the next day when I closed Android Studio it throws the error. I did Build > Clean Project and then Build > Rebuild Project and everything was ok.
