Hi everyone!
Is it possible to override an actual in *unitTest ?
My situation is that I have an expect/actual in an object which return the user language and I have a test which look for a date (like January 1st)
My date formater is using this object and, mokkery can't mock an object. Now, if my computer is not in english but my CI is, my test will fail...
I tried to put an actual in androidUnitTest but it complain that there is no expect in commonTest ...
Do you think of something else please ?

I would probably go to the interface and platform specific implementation in this case

Or other way to inject locale dependency

Not recommended - you can have global locale variable that is initiated with default locale and in test you set it before the test execution.

Thanks @Eugen Martynov for your input. I did think about injection but in this case, I can't inject any dependency (it's a viewmodel calling an extension on LocalDateTime ). So I end up with calling the date formatter in the test. All this is a workaround until jetbrains offer something to localize easily the LocalDateTime so..
