The only source of information is [this link](https://docs.temporal.io/develop/java/testing-suite#sample-unit-tests).

I wrote a test as mentioned in the above link, but when i run the test i see the logs of activity and workflow pullers starting but then the code gets stuck in a loop of restarting the workflow.

I tried putting some debug points in workflow code to see what happens and it seems like when workflow calls a method of my mocked activity, it just stops executing the workflow.

Can you show your test code by chance? You can see a number of tests in java samples repo [here](https://github.com/temporalio/samples-java/tree/main/core/src/test/java/io/temporal/samples) if helps.
