Hello there,
I have a code that looks like that (simplified for this question)

val publisher = mockk<CommandPublisher>(relaxed = true)
val something = Something(publisher)

val request = Request(field = "a")

something.doSomething(request)

verify {
   publisher.publish(any())
}

This works fine. But I want to confirm that the published object is the one I expect

verify {
   publisher.publish(Event(request))
}

Where Event(request) maps some values to the published object.
This check fails, because "arguments are not matching" when looking, the issue seems that verify is trying to compare by instance, but the expected instance is different. I want to compare by content. I saw that I could use cmpEq but I cannot find how to use it.

Can someone provide an example of verify and cmpEq ?
Thanks a lot for your help

IIUC, you should be able to do something like

verify {
    publisher.publish(match {
        it.request.field == "a"
    })
}

Does this make sense to you?

Thanks a lot Mattia, this approach worked perfectly 😄
