Java Reactor StepVerifier.withVirtualTime loop: repeatedly check with "expectNoEvent()", "expectNext()" and "thenAwait()"

I am learning Java 11 reactor. I have seen this example:

    StepVerifier.withVirtualTime(() -> Flux.interval(Duration.ofSeconds(1)).take(3600))
            .expectSubscription()
            .expectNextCount(3600);

This example just checks that with a Flux<Long> which increments 1 after every second till one hour, the final count is 3600.

But, is there any way to check the counter repeatedly after every second?

I know this:

.expectNoEvent(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
.expectNext(0L)
.thenAwait(Duration.ofSeconds(1))

But I have seen no way to repeatedly check this after every second, like:

.expectNoEvent(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
.expectNext(i)
.thenAwait(Duration.ofSeconds(1))

when i increments till 3600. Is there?

PS: I tried to add verifyComplete() at last in a long-running tests and it will never end. Do I have to? Or just ignore it?

You can achieve what you wanted by using expectNextSequence. You have to pass an Iterable and include every element you expect to arrive. See my example below:

var longRange = LongStream.range(0, 3600)
    .boxed()
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

StepVerifier
    .withVirtualTime(() -> Flux.interval(Duration.ofSeconds(1)).take(3600))
    .expectSubscription()
    .thenAwait(Duration.ofHours(1))
    .expectNextSequence(longRange)
    .expectComplete().verify();

If you don't add verifyComplete() or expectComplete().verify() then the JUnit test won't wait until elements arrive from the flux and just terminate.

For further reference see the JavaDoc of verify():

this method will block until the stream has been terminated
