ViewModel单元使用LiveData、Coroutines和MockK测试多个视图状态

Question

我在ViewModel中有一个函数有两个状态，第一个状态总是加载，第二个状态取决于api或db交互的结果。

这是函数

fun getPostWithSuspend() {

    myCoroutineScope.launch {

        // Set current state to LOADING
        _postStateWithSuspend.value = ViewState(LOADING)

        val result = postsUseCase.getPosts()

        // Check and assign result to UI
        val resultViewState = if (result.status == SUCCESS) {
            ViewState(SUCCESS, data = result.data?.get(0)?.title)
        } else {
            ViewState(ERROR, error = result.error)
        }

        _postStateWithSuspend.value = resultViewState
    }
}

   @Test
    fun `Given DataResult Error returned from useCase, should result error`() =
        testCoroutineRule.runBlockingTest {

            // GIVEN
            coEvery {
                useCase.getPosts()
            } returns DataResult.Error(Exception("Network error occurred."))

            // WHEN
            viewModel.getPostWithSuspend()

            // THEN
            val expected = viewModel.postStateWithSuspend.getOrAwaitMultipleValues(dataCount = 2)

//            Truth.assertThat("Network error occurred.").isEqualTo(expected?.error?.message)
//            Truth.assertThat(expected?.error).isInstanceOf(Exception::class.java)
            coVerify(atMost = 1) { useCase.getPosts() }
        }

但是我找不到测试加载状态是否发生的方法，所以我修改了现有的扩展函数，以

fun <T> LiveData<T>.getOrAwaitMultipleValues(
    time: Long = 2,
    dataCount: Int = 1,
    timeUnit: TimeUnit = TimeUnit.SECONDS,
    afterObserve: () -> Unit = {}
): List<T?> {

    val data = mutableListOf<T?>()
    val latch = CountDownLatch(dataCount)

    val observer = object : Observer<T> {
        override fun onChanged(o: T?) {
            data.add(o)
            latch.countDown()
            [e-mail](this)
        }
    }
    this.observeForever(observer)

    afterObserve.invoke()

    // Don't wait indefinitely if the LiveData is not set.
    if (!latch.await(time, timeUnit)) {
        this.removeObserver(observer)
        throw TimeoutException("LiveData value was never set.")
    }

    @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
    return data.toList()
}

若要在LiveData更改时将数据添加到列表中，并在该列表中存储状态，但它从不返回加载状态，因为它发生在observe启动之前。是否有方法测试livedata的多个值？

使用mockk可以捕获这些值并将其存储在列表中，然后按顺序检查这些值。

    //create mockk object
    val observer = mockk<Observer<AnyObject>>()

    //create slot
    val slot = slot<AnyObject>()

    //create list to store values
    val list = arrayListOf<AnyObject>()

    //start observing
    viewModel.postStateWithSuspend.observeForever(observer)


    //capture value on every call
    every { observer.onChanged(capture(slot)) } answers {

        //store captured value
        list.add(slot.captured)
    }

    viewModel.getPostWithSuspend()
    
    //assert your values here
