Hello, i'm trying to mock Instant but I can't seem to get it to work. My approach:
object MockkInstant {
    var value: Instant = Instant.now()

    fun mock() {
        mockkStatic(Instant::class)

        every {
            Instant.now()
        } answers {
            value.minusMillis(0) // line 22 from stack trace below
        }
    }

    fun clear() {
        clearStaticMockk(Instant::class)
    }

    fun step(duration: Duration = 1.seconds) {
        value = value.add(duration) // extension function defined elsewhere
    }
}
Now in my tests i'm trying to do this:
"fixes calls to Instant.now()" {
    val a = Instant.now()
    delay(1)
    val b = Instant.now()
    a.shouldBe(b)
}
But I'm getting an error from the
answers
block:
Empty list doesn't contain element at index 0.

I've seen other people using returns, but afaik that returns the same Instant object whereas I want to create a new one each time Instant.now() is called. Any suggestions?
