A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

You can use `Instant.parse("2017-11-01T11:04:56Z")` before the `mockkStatic`.

<@U3D0A5GP9>
```
    @Test
    fun `test mocking Instant`() {
        val expectedResult = Instant.parse("2017-11-01T11:04:56Z")

        mockkStatic(Instant::class)
        every { Instant.now() } returns expectedResult

        val result = Instant.now()
        assertEquals(expectedResult, result)

        unmockkStatic(Instant::class)
    }
```

yeah, the issue is that i thought i could mock this globally for all the tests

but some of the implementation is using `Instant.parse` and i dont want to mock that.. i jus want to mock `Instant.now`

IMO it is better to inject a <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/Clock.html>

and retrieve time from that instead using `instant()` instead of relying on global state

<@U1BASJRMW> yep, I was trying to avoid it because now almost every class will need to have another dependency but I guess there is no other option

If you happen to be using KotlinTest, take a look at this.

That's reason alone to switch to KotlinTest if you're one of the few people not using it :joy:
