How do I use MockEngine (https://ktor.io/clients/http-client/testing.html)? I can see how I can set it up, but I have a class with a private HttpClient

Your class has to accept an engine via it's ctor or something.

I started doing something like that, but with whole config, problem was that I must remember to make my tests have same install as my service, and client.config { install { ... }} didn't seem to work. But passing the engine doesn't have that problem so it might be a good idea, giving it a try

I'm unable to pass in engine, tried engine: HttpClientEngine, but then it won't accept Apache because of type mismatch

[Dominaezzz]

You can pass Apache.create {}

Nice, then I can do engine : HttpClientEngine = Apache.create() in ctor, and to create MockEngine I can do MockEngine.create { addHandler { ... } } and pass that in ctor. Thanks!
