Thanks Konrad
As mentioned
def run: Unit = LogReaderDisruptor.main(Array())
is a method that is supposed to run forever, plus it required some
setup(that is available on client's machine or test environment), it was
not trivial to set it up for Unit Test, which is why I mocked that part out
How would you recommend such a method otherwise?
