Attempted agentic migration

Migrating from Mockito to MockK

Iteration 1

Okay

Prompt

Lets migrate from mockito to mockk because this is a kotlin project

Result

Actually took the right steps for the update:

  • Replaced the dependency
  • Migrated Mockito calls

But couldn’t solve coroutine version conflict between platform libs and MockK.

Iteration 2

Not good

Prompt

There are failing tests

Result

It tried to bring in another version of coroutines and tried to ensure that system JNA wouldn’t be used. This only made things worse.

Conclusion

Honestly my prompting wasn’t the best, but this was supposed to be a simple migration. The agent took a long time running this task and I don’t think it was worth it.

I ended up doing the migration manually and it did take me some time to realize what was wrong.
