Hi guys, I am injecting Dispacters.IO in m project. Like this

val dispatcherModule = module {
    // Dispatchers
    single(named(DISPATCHER_IO)) {
        <http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>
    }
}

// some other place to use startKoin
startKoin { modules(
                listOf(dispatcherModule)) }

class PairViewModelTest {

    @get:Rule
    val testInstantTaskExecutorRule: TestRule = TestMainCoroutineRule()

    @get:Rule
    val koinTestRule = KoinTestRule.create {
        modules(dispatcherModule)
    }

    @MockK private lateinit var mockCoroutineDispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher

    private val subject by lazy { spyk(PairViewModelTest(mockCoroutineDispatcher))}

    @Before
    fun setUp() {
        MockKAnnotations.init(this, relaxed = true)
        loadKoinModules(module {
            factory {
                mockCoroutineDispatcher
            }
        })
    }
   /// more test here which is failed
}

my all tests are failed

So what is wrong in here?

[KotlinLeaner]

class java.lang.Object cannot be cast to class java.lang.Boolean (java.lang.Object and java.lang.Boolean are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')
java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Object cannot be cast to class java.lang.Boolean (java.lang.Object and java.lang.Boolean are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

@arnaud.giuliani any suggestion for this?

I think the problem is that, to test a class that uses coroutines, you need to pass a real dispatcher. try looking at this

I personally dont see the need to use Koin at all in a test like this, but i havent worked with koin closely enough to make that claim strongly

[KotlinLeaner]

Thanks for sharing the above document. The document which you shared is very complicated. I think there is a better way of doing it in koin.

[abbic]

i think that document is about as straightforward as it gets about testing coroutines...

[abbic]

certainly you cant mock the dispatcher

[KotlinLeaner]

Yeah I get it now. Thanks for great guidance. It works with above document.
