How to mock function in flutter test

Issue

How can I mock a function in flutter and verify it has been called n times?

Ive tried implementing Mock from mockito but it only throws errors:

class MockFunction extends Mock {
  call() {}
}

test("onListen is called once when first listener is registered", () {
      final onListen = MockFunction();

      // Throws: Bad state: No method stub was called from within `when()`. Was a real method called, or perhaps an extension method?
      when(onListen()).thenReturn(null);

      bloc = EntityListBloc(onListen: onListen);

      // If line with when call is removed this throws:
      // Used on a non-mockito object
      verify(onListen()).called(1);
    });

  });

As a workaround I am just manually tracking the calls:

test("...", () {
   int calls = 0;
   bloc = EntityListBloc(onListen: () => calls++);

   // ...

   expect(calls, equals(1));
});

So is there a way I can create simple mock functions for flutter tests?

Solution

What you could do is this:

class Functions  {
  void onListen() {}
}

class MockFunctions extends Mock implements Functions {}

void main() {
  test("onListen is called once when first listener is registered", () {
    final functions = MockFunctions();

    when(functions.onListen()).thenReturn(null);

    final bloc = EntityListBloc(onListen: functions.onListen);

    verify(functions.onListen()).called(1);
  });
}
