:wave::skin-tone-2:  Hey guys, question regarding testing the coroutines.
Suppose I have a class like this:
```class Launcher(dispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher) {
    private val scope = CoroutineScope(SupervisorJob() + dispatcher)
    
    fun launchItem() {
        scope.launch { /* Do my thing here */ }
    }
}```
I suppose the correct way to test this is to use `Dispatchers.setMain(myDispatchers)` in the `@Before` function and then use `runBlocking` in my test function, where I call `launcher.launchItem` , right?
Or how should I test a method that’s not `suspend` but launches a `coroutine` inside ?

I usually allow to override the whole `coroutineContext` instead of just the dispatcher in this kind of classes. This way you can make the job a child of your test's `coroutineContext` . Otherwise `runBlocking` and the likes will not wait for your coroutine to finish.

The testing framework has been completely reworked in <https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/releases/tag/1.6.0-RC|1.6.0-RC>. The explanations on how to proceed are very well detailed in the new <https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/1.6.0-RC/kotlinx-coroutines-test/README.md|README>.
