Im not sure if this is a kotest problem, or my understanding of map/combine is lacking, but Im struggling to understand why combine does not work as expected in my tests…
Basic example in :thread:

```
class MyTest() : FunSpec({

    val dispatcher = TestCoroutineDispatcher()
    listeners(MainCoroutineListener(dispatcher), MtLogListener())

    class MyViewModel : ViewModel(){

        val x = MutableStateFlow(5)
        val y = MutableStateFlow(2)

        val doubleX = x.map {
            it * 2
        }.stateIn(
            viewModelScope,
            SharingStarted.Eagerly,
            null
        )

        val combinedFlow = x.combine(y){ xValue, yValue -&gt;
            xValue * yValue
        }.stateIn(
            viewModelScope,
            SharingStarted.Eagerly,
            null
        )
    }

    val viewModel = MyViewModel()

    test("stateflow mapped"){
        viewModel.doubleX.value shouldBe 10
        viewModel.x.value = 9
        viewModel.doubleX.value shouldBe 18
    }

    test("combined"){
        viewModel.x.value = 10
        viewModel.y.value = 3
        viewModel.combinedFlow.value shouldBe 30
    }
}){
    override fun isolationMode(): IsolationMode = IsolationMode.InstancePerLeaf
}```


first test passes, second fails :confused:

do you mean to re-create the class for the 2nd test ?

huh.. I didnt expect that to have any impact, however I also expected InstancePerLeaf to do that.. I guess that only applies to context / nested tests.. both instantiating inside each test case and wrapping the current setup in a context makes the test pass…

I might be even more confused  now :sweat_smile:  I’ll have to come back to this tomorrow. My real issue is not solved by instantiating inside the test case
