It is hard to understand what you are trying to achieve.

[oleksiyp]

Please explain more.

[Hexa]

yep parseCarAsync() is just an async function that returns a string

parseCarAsync(test1: String, test2: String) = GlobalScope.async{ 

// make expensive network call here

//return@async  return some string here
}

[Hexa]

i just want to mock it and return a fake answers

[oleksiyp]

So the type is actually Deferred

[oleksiyp]

Replacing it with GlobalScope.async { "something" } should be exactly what you want. Why there is any doubts about it ?

[Hexa]

Thanks @oleksiyp, GlobalScope.async { "something" } syntax just looks weird, why can't I just return Deferred("testCardId") or use any subclass that extends Deferred

[oleksiyp]

Up to you, but this out of scope of mocking framework

[oleksiyp]

More a question to coroutines channel on how to create Deferred simpler

Thanks @oleksiyp
