is there a way to override Dispatchers.UI on unit tests in android? it's trying to use Looper.getMainLooper() which is a stubbed method

Do not use Dispatcher.UI directly, instead pass it as dependency of your coroutine scope

[adibfara]

I'm not using it, it's because of this line:

[adibfara]

internal val mainHandler = Looper.getMainLooper().asHandler(async = true)
in the HandlerDispatcher.kt in coroutines-android

[adibfara]

which is a top level variable

Your test subject shouldn't hard-code Dispatchers.UI. You should inject a dispatcher so you can pass a different one in from your unit tests.
