Testing the projects cache data store

Hey,
first thank you so much for this amazing course.
I believe to make the tests run there should be a stub for cache.setLastCacheTime

Something like that
private fun stubSaveVendors(completable: Completable) {
stubsetLastCacheTime(completable)
whenever(cache.saveVendors(any()))
.thenReturn(completable)
}

private fun stubsetLastCacheTime(completable: Completable) {
whenever(cache.setLastCacheTime(any()))
.thenReturn(completable)
}

Hey Youssef, it looks like we stub that at line 125 of this class :) If you needed to do something differently though from your side then that would be great to know! Thanks!

Joe can you update the github repo to include the full source code for this project? Some of the files, such as this one are missing.

Heads up to anyone following along this course. Once you get to 2 minutes into the video you'll create a test called saveProjectsCompletes this test will fail with a:
"java.lang.NullPointerException: other is null" error. This is happening because after the cache runs saveProjects it then attempts to run the setLastCacheTime method. You need to stub this method as Youssef mentions above. Unfortunately the source files are NOT available, but if you watch the video closely you'll see that Joe does indeed stub this method. I think in the editing of the videos it gets lost. At time 2:49 you can see the phantom stub method we need. My method is:

private fun stubCacheSetLastCacheTime(completable: Completable){
whenever(cache.setLastCacheTime(any()))
.thenReturn(completable)
}

...and as you can see (at time 2:49) in Joe's actual working method he included this stub method.

stubCacheSetLastCacheTime(Completable.complete())

now all 14 tests will complete successfully.

Here is my version of ProjectsCachDataStoreTest using KStubbing. It's more compact I think.
```java

class ProjectsCacheDataStoreTest {

private val projectEntity = ProjectFactory.makeProjectEntity()
private val projectId = DataFactory.randomString()
@Mock
private lateinit var projectsCacheDataStore: ProjectsCacheDataStore
private val projectCache = mock() {
on {
getProjects()
}.thenReturn(Observable.just(listOf(projectEntity)))

on {
saveProjects(listOf(projectEntity))
}.thenReturn(Completable.complete())

on {
getBookmarkedProjects()
}.thenReturn(Observable.just(listOf(projectEntity)))

on {
bookmarkedProject(projectId)
}.thenReturn(Completable.complete())

on {
unBookmarkedProject(projectId)
}.thenReturn(Completable.complete())

on {
setLastCacheTime(any())
}.thenReturn(Completable.complete())
}

@Before
fun setup() {
projectsCacheDataStore = ProjectsCacheDataStore(projectsCache = projectCache)
}

@Test
fun getProjectsCompletes() {
val testObserver = projectsCacheDataStore.getProjects().test()
testObserver.assertComplete()
}

@Test
fun getProjectsReturnData() {
val testObserver = projectsCacheDataStore.getProjects().test()
testObserver.assertValue(listOf(projectEntity))
}

@Test
fun saveProjectsCompletes() {
val testObserver = projectsCacheDataStore.saveProjects(listOf(projectEntity)).test()
testObserver.assertComplete()
}

@Test
fun getProjectsBookmarkedCompletes() {
val testObserver = projectsCacheDataStore.getBookmarkedProjects().test()
testObserver.assertComplete()
}

@Test
fun bookmarkProjectsCompletes() {
val testObserver = projectsCacheDataStore.bookmarkedProject(projectId).test()
testObserver.assertComplete()
}

@Test
fun unbookMarkedCompletes() {
val testObserver = projectsCacheDataStore.unBookmarkedProject(projectId).test()
testObserver.assertComplete()
}

}```
