Installation

All you need to get started is just to add a dependency to MockK library.

Gradle/maven dependency

Approach	Instruction
	testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk:{version}"
(Kotlin DSL)	testImplementation("io.mockk:mockk:{version}")
	<dependency> <groupId>io.mockk</groupId> <artifactId>mockk</artifactId> <version>{version}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>
Unit	testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk:{version}" testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-agent-jvm:{version}"
Instrumented	androidTestImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-android:{version}" androidTestImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-agent-jvm:{version}"
Common multiplatform	testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-common:{version}"

DSL examples

Simplest example. By default mocks are strict, so you need to provide some behaviour.

val car = mockk<Car>()

every { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } returns Outcome.OK

car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns OK

verify { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) }

confirmVerified(car)

Annotations

You can use annotations to simplify the creation of mock objects:

class TrafficSystem {
  lateinit var car1: Car
  
  lateinit var car2: Car
  
  lateinit var car3: Car
}

class CarTest {
  @MockK
  lateinit var car1: Car

  @RelaxedMockK
  lateinit var car2: Car

  @MockK(relaxUnitFun = true)
  lateinit var car3: Car

  @SpyK
  var car4 = Car()
  
  @InjectMockKs
  var trafficSystem = TrafficSystem()
  
  @Before
  fun setUp() = MockKAnnotations.init(this, relaxUnitFun = true) // turn relaxUnitFun on for all mocks

  @Test
  fun calculateAddsValues1() {
      // ... use car1, car2, car3 and car4
  }
}

Injection first tries to match properties by name, then by class or superclass. Check the lookupType parameter for customization.

Properties are injected even if private is applied. Constructors for injection are selected from the biggest number of arguments to lowest.

@InjectMockKs by default injects only lateinit vars or vars that are not assigned. To change this, use overrideValues = true. This would assign the value even if it is already initialized somehow. To inject vals, use injectImmutable = true. For a shorter notation use @OverrideMockKs which does the same as @InjectMockKs by default, but turns these two flags on.

JUnit4

JUnit 4 exposes a rule-based API to allow for some automation following the test lifecycle. MockK includes a rule which uses this to set up and tear down your mocks without needing to manually call MockKAnnotations.init(this). Example:

class CarTest {
  @get:Rule
  val mockkRule = MockKRule(this)

  @MockK
  lateinit var car1: Car

  @RelaxedMockK
  lateinit var car2: Car

  @Test
  fun something() {
     every { car1.drive() } just runs
     every { car2.changeGear(any()) } returns true
     // etc
  }
}

JUnit5

In JUnit5 you can use MockKExtension to initialize your mocks.

@ExtendWith(MockKExtension::class)
class CarTest {
  @MockK
  lateinit var car1: Car

  @RelaxedMockK
  lateinit var car2: Car

  @MockK(relaxUnitFun = true)
  lateinit var car3: Car

  @SpyK
  var car4 = Car()

  @Test
  fun calculateAddsValues1() {
      // ... use car1, car2, car3 and car4
  }
}

Additionally, it adds the possibility to use @MockK and @RelaxedMockK on test function parameters:

@Test
fun calculateAddsValues1(@MockK car1: Car, @RelaxedMockK car2: Car) {
  // ... use car1 and car2
}

Finally, this extension will call unmockkAll in a @AfterAll callback, ensuring your test environment is clean after each test class execution. You can disable this behavior by adding the @MockKExtension.KeepMocks annotation to your class or globally by setting the mockk.junit.extension.keepmocks=true property

Spy

Spies allow you to mix mocks and real objects.

val car = spyk(Car()) // or spyk<Car>() to call the default constructor

car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns whatever the real function of Car returns

verify { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) }

confirmVerified(car)

Note: the spy object is a copy of the passed object.

Relaxed mock

A relaxed mock is the mock that returns some simple value for all functions. This allows you to skip specifying behavior for each case, while still stubbing things you need. For reference types, chained mocks are returned.

val car = mockk<Car>(relaxed = true)

car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns null

verify { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) }

confirmVerified(car)

Note: relaxed mocking is working badly with generic return types. A class cast exception is usually thrown in this case. Opt for stubbing manually in the case of a generic return type.

Workaround:

val func = mockk<() -> Car>(relaxed = true) // in this case invoke function has generic return type

// this line is workaround, without it the relaxed mock would throw a class cast exception on the next line
every { func() } returns Car() // or you can return mockk() for example 

func()

Partial mocking

Sometimes, you need to stub some functions, but still call the real method on others, or on specific arguments. This is possible by passing callOriginal() to answers, which works for both relaxed and non-relaxed mocks.

class Adder {
 fun addOne(num: Int) = num + 1
}

val adder = mockk<Adder>()

every { adder.addOne(any()) } returns -1
every { adder.addOne(3) } answers { callOriginal() }

assertEquals(-1, adder.addOne(2))
assertEquals(4, adder.addOne(3)) // original function is called

Mock relaxed for functions returning Unit

If you want Unit-returning functions to be relaxed, you can use relaxUnitFun = true as an argument to the mockk function, @MockKannotation or MockKAnnotations.init function.

Function:

mockk<ClassBeingMocked>(relaxUnitFun = true)

Annotation:

@MockK(relaxUnitFun = true)
lateinit var mock1: ClassBeingMocked
init {
    MockKAnnotations.init(this)
}

MockKAnnotations.init:

@MockK
lateinit var mock2: ClassBeingMocked
init {
    MockKAnnotations.init(this, relaxUnitFun = true)
}

Object mocks

Objects can be turned into mocks in the following way:

object ObjBeingMocked {
  fun add(a: Int, b: Int) = a + b
}

mockkObject(ObjBeingMocked) // applies mocking to an Object

assertEquals(3, ObjBeingMocked.add(1, 2))

every { ObjBeingMocked.add(1, 2) } returns 55

assertEquals(55, ObjBeingMocked.add(1, 2))

To revert back, use unmockkAll or unmockkObject:

@Before
fun beforeTests() {
    mockkObject(ObjBeingMocked)
    every { MockObj.add(1,2) } returns 55
}

@Test
fun willUseMockBehaviour() {
    assertEquals(55, ObjBeingMocked.add(1,2))
}

@After
fun afterTests() {
    unmockkAll()
    // or unmockkObject(ObjBeingMocked)
}

Despite the Kotlin language restrictions, you can create new instances of objects if required by testing logic:

val newObjectMock = mockk<MockObj>()

Class mock

Sometimes you need a mock of an arbitrary class. Use mockkClass in those cases.

val car = mockkClass(Car::class)

every { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } returns Outcome.OK

car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns OK

verify { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) }

Enumeration mocks

Enums can be mocked using mockkObject:

enum class Enumeration(val goodInt: Int) {
    CONSTANT(35),
    OTHER_CONSTANT(45);
}

mockkObject(Enumeration.CONSTANT)
every { Enumeration.CONSTANT.goodInt } returns 42
assertEquals(42, Enumeration.CONSTANT.goodInt)

Constructor mocks

Sometimes, especially in code you don't own, you need to mock newly created objects. For this purpose, the following constructs are provided:

class MockCls {
  fun add(a: Int, b: Int) = a + b
}

mockkConstructor(MockCls::class)

every { anyConstructed<MockCls>().add(1, 2) } returns 4

assertEquals(4, MockCls().add(1, 2)) // note new object is created

verify { anyConstructed<MockCls>().add(1, 2) }

The basic idea is that just after the constructor of the mocked class is executed (any of them), objects become a constructed mock.
Mocking behavior of such a mock is connected to the special prototype mock denoted by anyConstructed<MockCls>().
There is one instance per class of such a prototype mock. Call recording also happens to the prototype mock.
If no behavior for the function is specified, then the original function is executed.

In case a class has more than one constructor, each can be mocked separately:

class MockCls(private val a: Int = 0) {
  constructor(x: String) : this(x.toInt())  
  fun add(b: Int) = a + b
}

mockkConstructor(MockCls::class)

every { constructedWith<MockCls>().add(1) } returns 2
every { 
    constructedWith<MockCls>(OfTypeMatcher<String>(String::class)).add(2) // Mocks the constructor which takes a String
} returns 3
every {
    constructedWith<MockCls>(EqMatcher(4)).add(any()) // Mocks the constructor which takes an Int
} returns 4

assertEquals(2, MockCls().add(1))
assertEquals(3, MockCls("2").add(2))
assertEquals(4, MockCls(4).add(7))

verify { 
    constructedWith<MockCls>().add(1)
    constructedWith<MockCls>("2").add(2)
    constructedWith<MockCls>(EqMatcher(4)).add(7)
}

Note that in this case, a prototype mock is created for every set of argument matchers passed to constructedWith.

Partial argument matching

You can mix both regular arguments and matchers:

val car = mockk<Car>()

every { 
  car.recordTelemetry(
    speed = more(50),
    direction = Direction.NORTH, // here eq() is used
    lat = any(),
    long = any()
  )
} returns Outcome.RECORDED

car.recordTelemetry(60, Direction.NORTH, 51.1377382, 17.0257142)

verify { car.recordTelemetry(60, Direction.NORTH, 51.1377382, 17.0257142) }

confirmVerified(car)

Chained calls

You can stub chains of calls:

val car = mockk<Car>()

every { car.door(DoorType.FRONT_LEFT).windowState() } returns WindowState.UP

car.door(DoorType.FRONT_LEFT) // returns chained mock for Door
car.door(DoorType.FRONT_LEFT).windowState() // returns WindowState.UP

verify { car.door(DoorType.FRONT_LEFT).windowState() }

confirmVerified(car)

Note: if the function's return type is generic then the information about the actual type is gone.
To make chained calls work, additional information is required.
Most of the time the framework will catch the cast exception and do autohinting.
In the case it is explicitly required, use hint before making the next call.

every { obj.op2(1, 2).hint(Int::class).op1(3, 4) } returns 5

Hierarchical mocking

From version 1.9.1 mocks may be chained into hierarchies:

interface AddressBook {
    val contacts: List<Contact>
}

interface Contact {
    val name: String
    val telephone: String
    val address: Address
}

interface Address {
    val city: String
    val zip: String
}

val addressBook = mockk<AddressBook> {
    every { contacts } returns listOf(
        mockk {
            every { name } returns "John"
            every { telephone } returns "123-456-789"
            every { address.city } returns "New-York"
            every { address.zip } returns "123-45"
        },
        mockk {
            every { name } returns "Alex"
            every { telephone } returns "789-456-123"
            every { address } returns mockk {
                every { city } returns "Wroclaw"
                every { zip } returns "543-21"
            }
        }
    )
}

Capturing

You can capture an argument to a CapturingSlot or MutableList:

val car = mockk<Car>()

val slot = slot<Double>()
val list = mutableListOf<Double>()

every {
  car.recordTelemetry(
    speed = capture(slot), // makes mock match calls with any value for `speed` and record it in a slot
    direction = Direction.NORTH // makes mock and capturing only match calls with specific `direction`. Use `any()` to match calls with any `direction`
  )
} answers {
  println(slot.captured)

  Outcome.RECORDED
}


every {
  car.recordTelemetry(
    speed = capture(list),
    direction = Direction.SOUTH
  )
} answers {
  println(list)

  Outcome.RECORDED
}

car.recordTelemetry(speed = 15, direction = Direction.NORTH) // prints 15
car.recordTelemetry(speed = 16, direction = Direction.SOUTH) // prints 16

verify(exactly = 2) { car.recordTelemetry(speed = or(15, 16), direction = any()) }

confirmVerified(car)

Verification atLeast, atMost or exactly times

You can check the call count with the atLeast, atMost or exactly parameters:

val car = mockk<Car>(relaxed = true)

car.accelerate(fromSpeed = 10, toSpeed = 20)
car.accelerate(fromSpeed = 10, toSpeed = 30)
car.accelerate(fromSpeed = 20, toSpeed = 30)

// all pass
verify(atLeast = 3) { car.accelerate(allAny()) }
verify(atMost  = 2) { car.accelerate(fromSpeed = 10, toSpeed = or(20, 30)) }
verify(exactly = 1) { car.accelerate(fromSpeed = 10, toSpeed = 20) }
verify(exactly = 0) { car.accelerate(fromSpeed = 30, toSpeed = 10) } // means no calls were performed

confirmVerified(car)

Verification order

verifyAll verifies that all calls happened without checking their order.
verifySequence verifies that the calls happened in a specified sequence.
verifyOrder verifies that calls happened in a specific order.
wasNot Called verifies that the mock (or the list of mocks) was not called at all.

class MockedClass {
    fun sum(a: Int, b: Int) = a + b
}

val obj = mockk<MockedClass>()
val slot = slot<Int>()

every {
    obj.sum(any(), capture(slot))
} answers {
    1 + firstArg<Int>() + slot.captured
}

obj.sum(1, 2) // returns 4
obj.sum(1, 3) // returns 5
obj.sum(2, 2) // returns 5

verifyAll {
    obj.sum(1, 3)
    obj.sum(1, 2)
    obj.sum(2, 2)
}

verifySequence {
    obj.sum(1, 2)
    obj.sum(1, 3)
    obj.sum(2, 2)
}

verifyOrder {
    obj.sum(1, 2)
    obj.sum(2, 2)
}

val obj2 = mockk<MockedClass>()
val obj3 = mockk<MockedClass>()
verify {
    listOf(obj2, obj3) wasNot Called
}

confirmVerified(obj)

Verification confirmation

To double check that all calls were verified by verify... constructs, you can use confirmVerified:

confirmVerified(mock1, mock2)

It doesn't make much sense to use it for verifySequence and verifyAll, as these verification methods already exhaustively cover all calls with verification.

It will throw an exception if there are some calls left without verification.

Some calls can be excluded from this confirmation, check the next section for more details.

val car = mockk<Car>()

every { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } returns Outcome.OK
every { car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) } returns Outcome.OK

car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns OK
car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) // returns OK

verify {
    car.drive(Direction.SOUTH)
    car.drive(Direction.NORTH)
}

confirmVerified(car) // makes sure all calls were covered with verification

Recording exclusions

To exclude unimportant calls from being recorded, you can use excludeRecords:

excludeRecords { mock.operation(any(), 5) }

All matching calls will be excluded from recording. This may be useful if you are using exhaustive verification: verifyAll, verifySequence or confirmVerified.

val car = mockk<Car>()

every { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } returns Outcome.OK
every { car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) } returns Outcome.OK

excludeRecords { car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) }

car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns OK
car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) // returns OK

verify {
    car.drive(Direction.NORTH)
}

confirmVerified(car) // car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) was excluded, so confirmation is fine with only car.drive(Direction.NORTH)

Verification timeout

To verify concurrent operations, you can use timeout = xxx:

mockk<MockCls> {
    every { sum(1, 2) } returns 4

    Thread {
        Thread.sleep(2000)
        sum(1, 2)
    }.start()

    verify(timeout = 3000) { sum(1, 2) }
}

This will wait until one of two following states: either verification is passed or the timeout is reached.

Returning Unit

If a function returns Unit, you can use the justRun construct:

class MockedClass {
    fun sum(a: Int, b: Int): Unit {
        println(a + b)
    }
}

val obj = mockk<MockedClass>()

justRun { obj.sum(any(), 3) }

obj.sum(1, 1)
obj.sum(1, 2)
obj.sum(1, 3)

verify {
    obj.sum(1, 1)
    obj.sum(1, 2)
    obj.sum(1, 3)
}

Other ways to write justRun { obj.sum(any(), 3) }:

every { obj.sum(any(), 3) } just Runs
every { obj.sum(any(), 3) } returns Unit
every { obj.sum(any(), 3) } answers { Unit }

Coroutines

To mock coroutines you need to add another dependency to the support library.

Gradle
testImplementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:x.x"

Maven
<dependency> <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlinx</groupId> <artifactId>kotlinx-coroutines-core</artifactId> <version>x.x</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>

Then you can use coEvery, coVerify, coMatch, coAssert, coRun, coAnswers or coInvoke to mock suspend functions.

val car = mockk<Car>()

coEvery { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } returns Outcome.OK

car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns OK

coVerify { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) }

Extension functions

There are three types of extension function in Kotlin:

class-wide
object-wide
module-wide

For an object or a class, you can mock extension functions just by creating a regular mockk:

data class Obj(val value: Int)

class Ext {
    fun Obj.extensionFunc() = value + 5
}

with(mockk<Ext>()) {
    every {
        Obj(5).extensionFunc()
    } returns 11

    assertEquals(11, Obj(5).extensionFunc())

    verify {
        Obj(5).extensionFunc()
    }
}

To mock module-wide extension functions you need to build mockkStatic(...) with the module's class name as an argument. For example "pkg.FileKt" for module File.kt in the pkg package.

data class Obj(val value: Int)

// declared in File.kt ("pkg" package)
fun Obj.extensionFunc() = value + 5

mockkStatic("pkg.FileKt")

every {
    Obj(5).extensionFunc()
} returns 11

assertEquals(11, Obj(5).extensionFunc())

verify {
    Obj(5).extensionFunc()
}

In jvm environments you can replace the class name with a function reference:

mockkStatic(Obj::extensionFunc)

Note that this will mock the whole pkg.FileKt class, and not just extensionFunc.

This syntax also applies for extension properties:

val Obj.squareValue get() = value * value

mockkStatic(Obj::squareValue)

If @JvmName is used, specify it as a class name.

KHttp.kt:

@file:JvmName("KHttp")

package khttp
// ... KHttp code

Testing code:

mockkStatic("khttp.KHttp")

Sometimes you need to know a little bit more to mock an extension function. For example the extension function File.endsWith() has a totally unpredictable classname:

   mockkStatic("kotlin.io.FilesKt__UtilsKt")
   every { File("abc").endsWith(any<String>()) } returns true
   println(File("abc").endsWith("abc"))

This is standard Kotlin behaviour that may be unpredictable. Use Tools -> Kotlin -> Show Kotlin Bytecode or check .class files in JAR archive to detect such names.

Varargs

From version 1.9.1, more extended vararg handling is possible:

    interface ClsWithManyMany {
        fun manyMany(vararg x: Any): Int
    }

    val obj = mockk<ClsWithManyMany>()

    every { obj.manyMany(5, 6, *varargAll { it == 7 }) } returns 3

    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 7)) // 3
    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 7, 7)) // 3
    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 7, 7, 7)) // 3

    every { obj.manyMany(5, 6, *anyVararg(), 7) } returns 4

    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 1, 7)) // 4
    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 2, 3, 7)) // 4
    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 4, 5, 6, 7)) // 4

    every { obj.manyMany(5, 6, *varargAny { nArgs > 5 }, 7) } returns 5

    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 4, 5, 6, 7)) // 5
    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7)) // 5

    every {
        obj.manyMany(5, 6, *varargAny {
            if (position < 3) it == 3 else it == 4
        }, 7)
    } returns 6
    
    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 3, 4, 7)) // 6
    println(obj.manyMany(5, 6, 3, 4, 4, 7)) // 6

Private functions mocking / dynamic calls

IF you need to mock private functions, you can do it via a dynamic call.

class Car {
    fun drive() = accelerate()

    private fun accelerate() = "going faster"
}

val mock = spyk<Car>(recordPrivateCalls = true)

every { mock["accelerate"]() } returns "going not so fast"

assertEquals("going not so fast", mock.drive())

verifySequence {
    mock.drive()
    mock["accelerate"]()
}

If you want to verify private calls, you should create a spyk with recordPrivateCalls = true

Additionally, a more verbose syntax allows you to get and set properties, combined with the same dynamic calls:

val mock = spyk(Team(), recordPrivateCalls = true)

every { mock getProperty "speed" } returns 33
every { mock setProperty "acceleration" value less(5) } just runs
justRun { mock invokeNoArgs "privateMethod" }
every { mock invoke "openDoor" withArguments listOf("left", "rear") } returns "OK"

verify { mock getProperty "speed" }
verify { mock setProperty "acceleration" value less(5) }
verify { mock invoke "openDoor" withArguments listOf("left", "rear") }

Property backing fields

You can access the backing fields via fieldValue and use value for the value being set.

Note: in the examples below, we use propertyType to specify the type of the fieldValue. This is needed because it is possible to capture the type automatically for the getter. Use nullablePropertyType to specify a nullable type.

val mock = spyk(MockCls(), recordPrivateCalls = true)

every { mock.property } answers { fieldValue + 6 }
every { mock.property = any() } propertyType Int::class answers { fieldValue += value }
every { mock getProperty "property" } propertyType Int::class answers { fieldValue + 6 }
every { mock setProperty "property" value any<Int>() } propertyType Int::class answers  { fieldValue += value }
every {
    mock.property = any()
} propertyType Int::class answers {
    fieldValue = value + 1
} andThen {
    fieldValue = value - 1
}

Multiple interfaces

Adding additional behaviours via interfaces and stubbing them:

val spy = spyk(System.out, moreInterfaces = *arrayOf(Runnable::class))

spy.println(555)

every {
    (spy as Runnable).run()
} answers {
    (self as PrintStream).println("Run! Run! Run!")
}

val thread = Thread(spy as Runnable)
thread.start()
thread.join()

Mocking Nothing

Nothing special here. If you have a function returning Nothing:

fun quit(status: Int): Nothing {
    exitProcess(status)
}

Then you can for example throw an exception as behaviour:

every { quit(1) } throws Exception("this is a test")

Clearing vs Unmocking

clear - deletes the internal state of objects associated with a mock, resulting in an empty object
unmock - re-assigns transformation of classes back to original state prior to mock

Matcher extensibility

A very simple way to create new matchers is by attaching a function to MockKMatcherScope or MockKVerificationScope and using the match function:

    fun MockKMatcherScope.seqEq(seq: Sequence<String>) = match<Sequence<String>> {
        it.toList() == seq.toList()
    }

It's also possible to create more advanced matchers by implementing the Matcher interface.

Custom matchers

Example of a custom matcher that compares list without order:

@Test
fun test() {
    class MockCls {
        fun op(a: List<Int>) = a.reversed()
    }

    val mock = mockk<MockCls>()

    every { mock.op(any()) } returns listOf(5, 6, 9)

    println(mock.op(listOf(1, 2, 3)))

    verify { mock.op(matchListWithoutOrder(3, 2, 1)) }

}

data class ListWithoutOrderMatcher<T>(
    val expectedList: List<T>,
    val refEq: Boolean
) : Matcher<List<T>> {
    val map = buildCountsMap(expectedList, refEq)

    override fun match(arg: List<T>?): Boolean {
        if (arg == null) return false
        return buildCountsMap(arg, refEq) == map
    }

    private fun buildCountsMap(list: List<T>, ref: Boolean): Map<Any?, Int> {
        val map = mutableMapOf<Any?, Int>()

        for (item in list) {

Settings file

To adjust parameters globally, there are a few settings you can specify in a resource file.

How to use:

Create a io/mockk/settings.properties file in src/main/resources.
Put any of the following options:

relaxed=true|false
relaxUnitFun=true|false
recordPrivateCalls=true|false
stackTracesOnVerify=true|false
stackTracesAlignment=left|center

stackTracesAlignment determines whether to align the stack traces to the center (default), or to the left (more consistent with usual JVM stackTraces).

Additional answer(s)

A next answer is returned on each consequent call and the last value is persisted. So this is similar to the returnsMany semantics.
