Hi guys, I want to know what is the difference between runBlocking and runTest ?

[Troels Lund]

Based on the documentation, runTest does the same as runBlocking, but skips all delay() .

Thanks for guidance..

Also, runTest is multiplatform and can be used in Kotlin/JS tests

[Joffrey]

Also, the test dispatcher allows you to control time, advance until all nested coroutines are idle, etc. A bunch of nice features you might need in tests

Okk thanks for gudiance

But be aware that skipping delays is not necessarily desirable, and may bite you if you interact with external systems, or code that use a "real" dispatcher with real time. For instance, you may notice that withTimeout instantly times out in those cases.
