no clue what I'm doing wrong with my mock (mockito-kotlin)

@Nonnull
    String[] createSfdcObjects(@Nonnull final SObject... sfdcObjects);

mock looks like whenever(sfdcCrudService.createSfdcObjects(anyVararg()))..., but it always returns null. I've tried every matcher (any, anyOrNull, etc) and none of them match. What am I missing?

[ephemient]

hmm, not sure this is doable. you want something like

whenever(sfdcCrudService.createSfdcObjects(*anyVararg())...

[ephemient]

but kotlin will copy the vararg array before calling the method...

[snowe]

yeah I had tried the spread it didn't work. what do you mean it will copy the array before calling?

[ephemient]

foo(*bar) will make a defensive copy of bar before passing it to foo

[snowe]

so you think it might not be possible at all to mock this?

[ephemient]

mockito isn't a great fit for kotlin as it cheats by using nulls all over, which kotlin really wants to check

[snowe]

I'm cool to switch in this one spot if you have a recommendation

[ephemient]

ah, reading up to your original post I see you're using mockito-kotlin, so that does try to work around most of those issues, but still...

[snowe]

yeah using mockito-kotlin, but pretty sure we have mockk imported already, so I can use that as well.

[snowe]

don't really care as long as I can solve this. I'm trying to convert an existing java test to kotlin, and it has thousands of assertions and mocks.

[snowe]

it's terrible.

[snowe]

maybe just checking isA with something, but not sure what to check.

[snowe]

I don't understand why it won't match any()
