In a framework like Spek, are all mocks (e.g. with mockk) initialized all at once, on start up? I would have hoped that mocks were scoped to their corresponding describe or it blocks. As it is, even if I run a single it block test in Intellij, all the mocks across all blocks are being initialized. Is this a consequence of putting the entire test suite into the constructor of my test class (which seems bonkers to me)?

I've achieved the result I want with some beforeEachTest blocks.

have you looked at https://spekframework.org/core-concepts/#scope-values?

you can use val myMock by memoized {mock(Something::class.java)} but you should check the docs in 1st place to understand how SPEK engine works
