ViewModel tests are always successful

[jmcaldera]

Assertions made inside the observeForever block are always successful, even when they shouldn't.

For example in MoviesViewModelTest, if i say that the first element poster is equals to "IronMannnn", it will pass, even if the real value is "IronMan".

If you set a breakpoint inside the block of observeForever and debug, you'll see that it won't be reached. The reason is that GetMovies is mocked but the test gives behaviour only to run, so its method execute does nothing when is called by MoviesViewModel.

A solution might be spy GetMovies, so real methods are called (except run, which will be stubbed):

import org.mockito.Mockito.mock
import org.mockito.Mockito.spy

private val getMovies = spy(GetMovies(mock(MoviesRepository::class.java)))

Good catch!

@JavierSA have you tried that out? If so, I would appreciate a PR.

Thanks!

@JavierSA - Unfortunately, in my project, UseCases cannot be run (due to networking dependencies) so, I had to mock the UseCases. My PR presents an alternate solution.

@fowlerwill I think yours is better, so I've closed my PR.
