Has someone an working example of a mocked class where you want to verify that one given method was called once? I tried verify(sut).someMethod("example") , but that throws always 3 invocations (two other where on other methods). I have right now no idea how to fix that test

You can pass a VerificationMode to your verify() function call to do your own assertions on the method interaction

You can use times() to assert number of times the method is called

So you mean basically that I should use the second parameter of verify (e.g. verify(sut, times(3)).someMethod("example"))? If so that does not work for me. I could only set it to 3 because in total 3 methods are called on that mocked class, but I could not verify which method which makes it worthless. Especially want to verify the passed parameters, that seems not to work at all. The method definition looks like that: fun somMethod(label: String, flag: Boolean = false) {...}

Mockito should be verifying that sut.someMethod("eample") was called only once (the default for times) using your initial definition.

I don't know what, but something isn't defined/configured correctly. Can you point us to more code?

And we're all assuming you're using Mockito. Let us know if it's Mockk or something else.

And you're 100% sure your method isn't being called 3 times somehow?

You can use an ArgumentCaptor instead of the actual parameters to someMethod() to verify what they are in your test.
