How do you test a method that calls another method with Junit5 and mockk? I tried googling but no luck. The SUT has a method that after some logic, calls other method. How can i verify that the method was called without calling it? As I want to keep it a unit test. Can i mock the method somehow?

yes, you can mock that method to with when and then

[Raul Tunduc]

for example:

val mockBookService = Mockito.mock(BookService::class.java)
Mockito.`when`(mockBookService. inStock(100)).thenReturn(true)

Okay, but for example

fun a() {
If(logic) {b()}
}
}

The both methods are in the SUT which is not mocked
The b() contains logic and dont want to execute it just to confirm its called

Fuck on mobile couldnt make code block😂 sorry

[Raul Tunduc]

yes. Before calling function a() you can write smth like this:

Mockito.`when`(b()).thenReturn(true)

and that’s all.
That method will not be executed, only it will return true 🤷‍♂️

Thanks !! That is what I am looking for

Just a quick question @Raul Tunduc, is this possible with mockk, not mockito

[Raul Tunduc]

I don’t know. Check their documentation.
