Is anyone able to take a look at my question from dec 18th? I'm really stuck on what to do, and can't get feedback anywhere? I'm left thinking I'm either doing something wrong, or it's not possible to verify mocks not passed in through the constructor?

Try moving your declareMock to the top of the test method, to ensure that the mocked instance is prepared before any other method requests the type.

That doesn't seem to work either. I added this to the file

lateinit var someMock: DirectorySavedFilterBinder

And initialized the mock immediately after initializing Koin in @Before

startKoin {
            modules(rowBindingsModule)
        }

        someMock = declareMock<DirectorySavedFilterBinder>()

Then the verify at the bottom of my test still failed

verify(someMock).bind(any())

Shouldn't this line:

whenever(rowsToDisplay[1]).thenReturn(row)

Be included within the declareMock call? As in whenever(rowsToDisplay.get(eq(1)).thenReturn(row)

[Ben Abramovitch]

rowsToDisplay is passed in through the constructor and isn't part of Koin

Hmm. I've never used the verify method so I'm a bit out of my league here. I'll keep looking to see if I notice anything

[Ben Abramovitch]

Thanks, much appreciated. Verify is part of mockito, but my understanding is the two play nice together.

The best documentation I've found so far is this

https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin/issues/298

But I'm not sure if that's still up to date... you can see they verify on the heater in there though.

I actually missed that they have the initializing up top with the by inject() so I just tried that in the test as well and it didn't work either...

[Ben Abramovitch]

The difference is though that that coffee maker is made within the test, and it takes a heater. My binder is created within the method... so it's not quite the same

[Ben Abramovitch]

For example, this test does pass

@Test
fun `binder binds`() {
    someMock.bind(mock())

    verify(someMock).bind(any())
}

Which is why I'm so confused since my "working" code that is a workaround with the given/true part, works... so it seems like it should all work somehow
