How do I test the init block?

the sample:

class Foo() {
    init {
        loadData()
    }

    private fun loadData() {
        repository.getData()
    }
}

And this is what I done. Is it correct?

class FooTest {

    private val foo by lazy { Foo() }

    @Test
    fun `test foo init block`() {

        foo // access foo to create an instance by Lazy 

        coVerify(exactly = 1) { repository.getData() }
    }
}

Why would you? It appears to have no effect

Best don't use lazy in tests. Since you want a fresh instance of it in each test. So either create it in @Before or use @InjectMocks as the alternative

I would prefer to mock the response of repository.getData() and verify that the data has been loaded as expected, if possible 🙂
