Hi is there a way to mock the properties of a singleton? For example given: ```object Singleton { ...

Hi is there a way to mock the properties of a singleton? For example given:

object Singleton {
  val client = SomeClient()
   fun foo() {
    // calls to me are mocked in my unit test
    client.bar()
  }
}

When I mock calls to foo with mockkObject using every the SomeClient() constructor is still called. So do I also need to mock SomeClient, or is there a way I can mockkAll of Singleton or perhaps just intercept calls to client?

i think you can do this by mocking the constructor for SomeClient, doing something like

every { anyConstructed<SomeClient>().bar() }

does this make sense to you?

Ya i think so ... and if SomeClient were to also be a singleton? 😂

I guess i'll need to find the concrete class in the dependency graph and mock it there 🤔
