<a name="mocking"></a>

Developers can use several frameworks to perform mocking in tests with the AWS SDK for Kotlin. This topic documents extra configuration or special considerations that some frameworks require.

## MockK
<a name="mockk-consideration"></a>

When you mock module-wide extension functions using [MockK](https://mockk.io/), you need to do [extra configuration](https://mockk.io/#extension-functions). In the SDK for Kotlin, paginators, waiters, and presigners are examples of extension functions, so when mocking their behavior, you need extra configuration.

You must call `mockkStatic("<MODULE_CLASS_NAME>")` before setting up your mocks. As a general rule, the module class names are: 
+ **Paginators**: `aws.sdk.kotlin.services.<service>.paginators.PaginatorsKt`
+ **Waiters**: `aws.sdk.kotlin.services.<service>.waiters.WaitersKt`
+ **Presigners**: `aws.sdk.kotlin.services.<service>.presigners.PresignersKt`

For example, in the following test that includes mocking `listBucketsPaginated`—a paginator extenstion function—we add `mockkStatic("aws.sdk.kotlin.services.s3.paginators.PaginatorsKt")`:

```
    @Test
    fun testPaginatedListBuckets() = runTest {

        mockkStatic("aws.sdk.kotlin.services.s3.paginators.PaginatorsKt")
        val s3Client: S3Client = mockk()
        val s3BucketLister = S3BucketLister(s3Client)

        val expectedBuckets = listOf(
            Bucket { name = "bucket1" },
            Bucket { name = "bucket2" }
        )

        val response = ListBucketsResponse { buckets = expectedBuckets }
        coEvery { s3Client.listBucketsPaginated() } returns flowOf(response)

        val result = s3BucketLister.getAllBucketNames()

        assertEquals(listOf("bucket1", "bucket2"), result)
    }
```

Without `mockkStatic`, you see the following error:

```
Missing mocked calls inside every { ... } block: make sure the object inside the block is a mock
io.mockk.MockKException: Missing mocked calls inside every { ... } block: make sure the object inside the block is a mock

    at io.mockk.MockKKt.coEvery(MockK.kt:174)
```

In the case of a presigner extension function without `mockkStatic`, you might see:

```
key is bound to the URI and must not be null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: key is bound to the URI and must not be null
