I think you can achieve something like that by annotating your mocks with @MockK and using MockkAnnotations.init(this, relaxed = true)

The project I’m working on uses JUnit 5, so according to the docs I needed to use @ExtendWith(MockKExtension::class) which apparently doesn’t allow setting common properties. Then I had to annotate every field with @RelaxedMockK and make it lateinit var. Not very fond of this solution… I think I’ll revert back to the no annotations form.

not really sure you need to use @ExtendWith with JUnit 5 though, i’ve been using annotations and MockKAnnotations.init() in my JUnit 5 projects 🙂

Oh didn’t know that, I’ll give a try to the manual initialization and let you know. — fact is that properties still need to be lateinit var , I’m afraid it would look too noisy for my taste… let’s see 😄

Final result is not too bad, I think I’ll keep it. It works under JUnit 5, thanks; I just had to put the MockkAnnotations call inside an init {} otherwise in order to use a @BeforeAll function I’d have to put that in a companion object or add another annotation to the class.

I usually put it in a @BeforeEach function

got it thanks!
