i need it for robolectric

[raniejade]

can you describe your use-case?

[harshitbangar]

In robolectric we use a custom class loader to load the test.

[harshitbangar]

before starting and after finishing the test we setup and teardown things such as application, activity as well as synchronizing threads.

Sounds reasonable, can you file a ticket? InstanceFactory can also optionally implement LifecycleListener, spek will check that and register it automatically.

[harshitbangar]

my understanding is that spek unlike junit doesn't create a new instance of class for each test

[harshitbangar]

sure

[raniejade]

It does, unless it’s an object.

[harshitbangar]

got it. creating a ticket.

Thanks! I’m not sure when an object instance is created by kotlin (we just use KClass::objectInstance).
