Is it possible to do something like this fun foo bar Int gt String block gt Unit Some code fun test foo bar 5 This is currently not valid but I need it to be

Is it possible to do something like this? fun foo(bar: (Int) -> String, block: () -> Unit) { // Some code } fun test() { foo { bar(5) // This is currently not valid but I need it to be } }

What is it you're trying to achieve? Do you want a specific function to only be callable within the

block

lambda pass into your function?

There might be a better way, but I was able to modify that to make it work for my needs

What I'm trying to do is sort of a parameterized test, but in pure kotlin without junit5. I just want each test to run twice but using a different version of a class (same interface). So I need a way to construct the class in each test. So bar in this case is actually needs to call something like getInstance(0, "123") where 0=classA and "123" is the constructor args foo just runs block() in a loop with i = 0,1

How would this work with constructing multiple instances of the class in each test that have a unique constructor parameter?

The test basically can't construct the class, so it needs access to functions that mirror the constructors, and somewhere else knows which instance to construct

Then you're probably better of sticking to my first example, where

FooScope

would be your instance factory

Okay sounds good, I had modified yours to make it a class instead of object that took the i = 0,1 in constructor to know which instance to create

if the two classes in question have the same signature for the constructor, you can just pass that to the test code block: https://pl.kotl.in/ImQEc3c4Z
