Hello i'm trying to use runBlocking inside my commonTest module but ide can't find it is it because runBlocking isn't available in kotlinx.coroutines?

Yeah. You’ll need to do some form of expect actual

Okey thank you i will have look on this

[mben]

but runTest return Unit and what i want to do is :
val result = runTest { repository.login("test") }
assertEquals(result, expected) and result has to be LoginRepository.Success type

[kpgalligan]

What I sent was meant as an example. You can change your implementation to return something.

[mben]

Yes i know but writing many runBlocking with different return type isn't great neither i guess we should take the exemple as an acceptable answer for now?

[kpgalligan]

" writing many runBlocking with different return type” not sure what you mean here

[mben]

in the exemple runBlocking return Unit and since i need a result so i can assert i need to write runBlocking for each type of result i need (runBlocking: LoginResponse, runBlocking: SomethingResponse etc)

[kpgalligan]

Or use a generic?

[mben]

Ow i'm not used to use generics but internal expect fun<T> runBlockingTest(block: suspend () -> T): T did the work thank you

Nice
