How to use DefaultMockitoSession class of org.mockito.internal.framework package

It depends on the JUnit version and what assert libraries you use.

• For JUnit5 and 4.13 see answer
• If you use AssertJ or google-truth, see answer

The original answer for JUnit <= 4.12 was:

    @Test(expected = IndexOutOfBoundsException.class)
    public void testIndexOutOfBoundsException() {

        ArrayList emptyList = new ArrayList();
        Object o = emptyList.get(0);

    }

Though answer has more options for JUnit <= 4.12.

What do you need most:

1. The ability to make sure that somebody doesn't inherit from your class, OR
2. The ability to make sure that your code is testable using your mocking framework of choice?

Generally, I believe that you don't need to enforce (1). For me, testability (2), is far more important. What fits your situation best?

I don't see a problem here. With the following code using the Mockito API, I managed to do just that :

public class CodeWithPrivateMethod {

    public void meaningfulPublicApi() {
        if (doTheGamble("Whatever", 1 << 3)) {
            throw new RuntimeException("boom");
        }
    }

    private boolean doTheGamble(String whatever, int binary) {
        Random random = new Random(System.nanoTime());
        boolean gamble = random.nextBoolean();
        return gamble;
    }
}

And here's the JUnit test :

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;
import static org.mockito.Matchers.anyInt;
import static org.mockito.Matchers.anyString;
import static org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito.when;
import static org.powermock.api.support.membermodification.MemberMatcher.method;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(CodeWithPrivateMethod.class)
public class CodeWithPrivateMethodTest {

    @Test(expected = RuntimeException.class)
    public void when_gambling_is_true_then_always_explode() throws Exception {
        CodeWithPrivateMethod spy = PowerMockito.spy(new CodeWithPrivateMethod());

        when(spy, method(CodeWithPrivateMethod.class, "doTheGamble", String.class, int.class))
                .withArguments(anyString(), anyInt())
                .thenReturn(true);

        spy.meaningfulPublicApi();
    }
}

As per the documentation (Mockito 1 and Mockito 2), you have to use argThat(matcher), a Mockito matcher which allows you to use your custom argument matchers:

 //stubbing
 when(mock.giveMe(argThat(new MyHamcrestMatcher())));

 //verification
 verify(mock).giveMe(argThat(new MyHamcrestMatcher()));

You did not say if you're using Mockito 1 or 2, but the idea is similar, it's just the static import that is different:

• 1: import static org.mockito.Matchers.argThat; (or for simplicity org.mockito.Mockito which extends Matchers)
• 2: import static org.mockito.hamcrest.MockitoHamcrest.argThat;

Bonus hint, for readability you can replace times(0) with never(), so in your case it would be:

verify(customPublisher, never()).publish(argThat(isFailureResult()), anyObject());

To test the lambdas behavior, the underlayingApi has to be mocked where the lambda is invoked via the InvoactionOnMock object like this.

    `when`(underlayingApi.post(eq("some/rest/url"),
                               any())).thenAnswer {
        val argument = it.arguments[1]
        val completion = argument as ((rawResult: String?, exception: Exception?) -> Unit)
        completion.invoke("result", null)
    }

This leads to the invocation of the callback within the object under test. Now to check if the callback out of the object under test is working verify it like that.

    objUnderTest.loadData(id,
                          { json, exception ->
                              assert....
                          })

Why it didn't work

You're mocking Result.iterator():

when(deviceDataResultMock.iterator()).thenReturn(resultIterator);

But you didn't mock Result.spliterator(), or at least I didn't see it, which is what's being called by Result.stream(), which is just Collection.stream():

default Stream<E> stream() {
    return StreamSupport.stream(spliterator(), false);
}

So, you'll have to mock the spliterator() method as well, and probably a few others, too! Alternatively, tell Mockito to call default methods:

Can you make mockito (1.10.17) work with default methods in interfaces?

A comment on mocking in general

I'm not convinced that mocking the jOOQ API is a very good idea. The jOOQ API is vast, and you'll likely forget to mock this or that method as this question here has aptly shown. With your current setup, you're planning on updating your mock every time you project a new column? E.g. you're doing this:

when(recordMock.get(DEVICEID.getName()).thenReturn(deviceId);

What if the column is renamed? Or another column is projected? You'll have to update this test. That feels like quite the chore, and it's very error prone.

While jOOQ itself has JDBC mocking capabilities, please consider the bold disclaimer on that manual page:

Disclaimer: The general idea of mocking a JDBC connection with this jOOQ API is to provide quick workarounds, injection points, etc. using a very simple JDBC abstraction. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to emulate an entire database (including complex state transitions, transactions, locking, etc.) using this mock API. Once you have this requirement, please consider using an actual database product instead for integration testing, rather than implementing your test database inside of a MockDataProvider

When working with databases, it's usually best to resort to running integration tests, see the following resources for some details:

• Integration testing with Jooq
• Using H2 as a Test Database Product with jOOQ
• How to Integration Test Stored Procedures with jOOQ
• Using Testcontainers to Generate jOOQ Code

Of course, you can write a few smoke tests to ensure jOOQ works correctly if you don't trust jOOQ (jOOQ being an external dependency). But the jOOQ unit and integration tests are vast, so in general, you should be able to trust core types like Result or Record to do the right thing for you. What you really want to test is your query correctness, and that, you can only integration test against an actual database instance.

it is because of the version conflict between PowerMockito and Mockito artifacts. "MockCreationSettings.isUsingConstructor" method is removed in new versions, so you need to be sure you are using correct versions. e.g use PowerMockito version 1.6.2 with Mockito version 1.10.19 (this version has that missing method)

To verify a static method using Mockito -> MockedStatic.

If the method has parameters and you want to verify it then it will be verify by this way:

@Test
void testMethod() {
  try (MockedStatic<StaticProperties> theMock = Mockito.mockStatic(StaticProperties.class)) {
    theMock.when(StaticProperties.getProperty("abc", "xyz", "lmn"))).thenReturn("OK");

    //code .....

    theMock.verify(() -> StaticProperties.getProperty("abc", "xyz", "lmn"));
  }
  
}

You're misunderstanding what a mock is. When you're doing

MyClass myClass = Mockito.mock(MyClass.class);
// ...
assertNull(myClass.methodToTest(myObject));

You're not actually invoking methodToTest on your real object. You're invoking methodToTest on the mock, which by default, does nothing and return null, unless it was stubbed. Quoting from Mockito docs:

By default, for all methods that return value, mock returns null, an empty collection or appropriate primitive/primitive wrapper value (e.g: 0, false, ... for int/Integer, boolean/Boolean, ...).

This explains your subsequent error: the method was really not invoked on the mock.

It seems what you want here is a spy instead:

You can create spies of real objects. When you use the spy then the real methods are called (unless a method was stubbed).

A note of warning though: since it is the real methods that are getting called, you should not use Mockito.when but prefer Mockito.doReturn(...).when, otherwise the method will be called once for real. If you consider the expression:

Mockito.when(myClass.methodUsedInMethodBeingTested(Matchers.any(MyTypeParam.class))).thenReturn(Collections.<X, Y> emptyMap());
             ^-----------------------------------^
                 this will be invoked by Java

the argument of the method when must be evaluated, but this means the method methodUsedInMethodBeingTested will be invoked. And since we have a spy, it is the real method that will be invoked. So, instead, use:

MyClass spy = Mockito.spy(new MyClass());
Mockito.doReturn(Collections.<X, Y> emptyMap()).when(spy).methodUsedInMethodBeingTested(Matchers.any(MyTypeParam.class));
assertNull(spy.methodToTest(myObject));
Mockito.verify(spy).methodUsedInMethodBeingTested(Matchers.any(MyTypeParam.class));
