specs2-mock does not support Scala 3 about specs2 HOT 3 CLOSED

Unfortunately I have dropped the support for specs2-mock for Scala 3 because this was a terrible hack. I described the move here with other assorted changes (follow-up blog post).

from specs2.

So, what is the recommended replacement for scala 3? The first blog post mentions mockito-scala, but that doesn't support scala 3, and probably won't in the foreseeable future.

I was hoping that other libraries, like ScalaMock, would adapt faster to Scala3. Yet, as you've noticed, work is still ongoing. I think that, if we want to use mocks in Scala, we really need to embrace the language and have a specific library for it.

I must also say that, in my own practice, I don't use mocks anymore. I tend to implement traits with my own stubs and in general:

• either use those as a model of the behaviour I'm expecting when testing something else
• use them to collect data when my app is having side-effects (for logging, sending messages to other systems etc...)
