Hey @mitchtabian - I ran across a NullPointerException running the MovieDetailFragmentTest when the MoviesRemoteDataSource is mocked via mockk (see stack trace below). Debugging I realized what fixes it is if you mock the interface- MoviesDataSource instead of its implementation. It gets around mockk not knowing how the linkedMap is initialized. Hope this helps other learners!

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.Object java.util.LinkedHashMap.get(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference
