My tests are failing due to different object instances even though the side effects are same.

Expected :
[LoadingSideEffects$NavigateToLandingPage@4bc90c14]
Actual   :
[LoadingSideEffects$NavigateToLandingPage@46a28b7f]

My side effect -:

class NavigateToLandingPage(val id:String) : LoadingSideEffects()

However when I try the same on side effects with no parameters, then the tests are passing e.g

object NavigateToLandingPage : LoadingSideEffects()

The latter will pass, however the former will fail.


For assertion, I am using

viewModel.assert(initialState = initialState) {
    postedSideEffects(
        LoadingSideEffects.NavigateToLandingPage(scheduleId)
    )
}

This fails.

If I use,

val result = viewmodel.testIntent {
    fetchStatus(id)
}

assert(result.sideEffectObserver.values.first() is LoadingSideEffects.NavigateToLandingPage)

This passes


Is this (result.sideEffectObserver.values.first()) the right way to test? And does it mean that we cannot use the format.

viewModel.assert(initialState = initialState) { }

when our side effect accepts some values/parameters?

class instances are not the same. Use data class NavigateToLandingPage instead

Edited please check.

val result = viewmodel.testIntent {
    fetchStatus(id)
}

assert(result.sideEffectObserver.values.first() is LoadingSideEffects.NavigateToLandingPage)

Asserting like this worked.

You are right, my bad, I should have used data class instead of a normal class.
