Instead of a

@Before

I've been initing my tests as such. Since the subject is inited with mocks and their values are whats important not whats being injected. Can the @Before be foregoed? Or is there anyway I can have an

@Before

work on a variable since I don't want to

lateinit

the subject

This way your subject will be the same between tests methods which means it's state will be the same as left from previous test, i wouldn't recommend this. I use lateinits with before, it's tests not production code, so even if it's a bit uglier at least im sure no state is shared between the tests

@ghosalmartin Not sure what you mean by

values are whats important not whats being injected

The mocks determine the state not the object itself

Do you mean ~ slide 30?

Yano what am being an idiot
