Mockk: Constructor: spyk doesn't register calls from constructor

[almozavr]

Spy verification doesn't work for methods called from constructor:

class TestClass {
  init { test() }
  fun test() {}
}
...
val spyed = spyk(TestClass())
...
verify { spyed.test() }

I'm kinda novice at testing but I do understand one could create another constructor for testing purpose without some kind of setup method call. I just wonder, is this feature out of scope or planned for future?

There is demand I would say for constrctor mocking, eventually it will be implemented. No exact plans yet

I would say that having whenNew => thenReturn will be really great tool for some edge cases ♥️ Great that you have it in your future plans! 😍

This feature was implemented some time ago, but I didn't want to close the ticket as it is implemented different way. It is still not possible to mock calls inside of constructor, but rather possible after.

I'm closing it now
