From what I can tell (somewhat astonishingly), the default behavior of mockkConstructor() is to actually call a real constructor, then discard its output and substitute a mockk singleton. This is somewhat disappointing, since it suggests that you can’t actually mock constructors with mockkConstructor() (ie, that unwanted side-effects will still occur)

just after the constructor of the mocked class is executed, objects become aconstructed mock
