[ERROR: Bad state] Mocking response with when()

[cocacrave]

Trying to mock when().then() but I get an error:
ERROR: Bad state: Mock method was not called within when(). Was a real method called?

test(
      'should return user document',
      () async {
        when(mockService.collection(any).document(any)).thenAnswer(
          (_) => tUserDoc,
        );
        // expect
        // verify
      },

(I'm not author of this library) This library is becoming more "fake" than "mock". To prepare database that contain some data, you need to populate it.

mockFirestoreInstance.collection("users").add({"name": "suztomo"});

If you just need a mock, using mockito (without cloud_firestore_mocks) should suffice.

@atn832 In document, you may want to clarify which parts are "fake" and what are "mock". (I believe this library is a "fake", and fake is suitable for my usage)

You're right, calling the library mocks is a misnomer. It was true initially since everything extended Mock and implementation was minimal. I've filed #33 and #34. I'll see if #34 is doable.

Closing this since the workaround is to populate the fake db like @suztomo mentioned.
