How to use DeepStubsWronglyReportsSerializationProblemsTest class of org.mockitousage.bugs.deepstubs package

For the service, it's good practice to either inject through the constructor or setter. This makes it easy to mock and pass in during unit testing. As for the mocking, you should use a framework like Mockito. Then you can do stuff like

MyService service = Mockito.mock(MyService.class);
when(service.getObject()).thenReturn(new Object());

HttpHeaders headers = Mockito.mock(HttpHeaders.class);
when(headers.getHeaderString("X-Header")).thenReturn("blah");

UriInfo uriInfo = Mockito.mock(UriInfo.class);
when(uriInfo.getRequestUri()).thenReturn(URI.create("http://localhost"));

Then you can just pass all these mocks to your resource class when UNIT testing.

For INTEGRATION testing you won't need to mock the headers or uriinfo. The actual ones will get passed in. But you can still mock the service if you want. Here's an example

public class MockServiceTest extends JerseyTest  {

    public static interface Service {
        String getMessage(String name);
    }

    @Path("message")
    public static class MessageResource {

        private final Service service;

        public MessageResource(Service service) {
            this.service = service;
        }

        @GET
        public String get(@QueryParam("name") String name,
                          @Context HttpHeaders headers,
                          @Context UriInfo uriInfo) {
            String nameQuery = uriInfo.getQueryParameters().getFirst("name");
            String header = headers.getHeaderString("X-Header");
            assertNotNull(nameQuery);
            assertNotNull(header);
            return service.getMessage(name);
        }
    }

    private Service service;

    @Override
    public ResourceConfig configure() {
        service = Mockito.mock(Service.class);
        return new ResourceConfig().register(new MessageResource(service));
    }

    @Test
    public void testIt() {
        Mockito.when(service.getMessage("peeskillet")).thenReturn("Hello peeskillet");

        Response response = target("message").queryParam("name", "peeskillet").request()
                .header("X-Header", "blah")
                .get();
        assertEquals(200, response.getStatus());
        assertEquals("Hello peeskillet", response.readEntity(String.class));
    }
}

I've needed this several times as well. I've put together a small sample below, which you'd want to adjust to your needs. Basically, you create your own Appender and add it to the logger you want. If you'd want to collect everything, the root logger is a good place to start, but you can use a more specific if you'd like. Don't forget to remove the Appender when you're done, otherwise you might create a memory leak. Below I've done it within the test, but setUp or @Before and tearDown or @After might be better places, depending on your needs.

Also, the implementation below collects everything in a List in memory. If you're logging a lot you might consider adding a filter to drop boring entries, or to write the log to a temporary file on disk (Hint: LoggingEvent is Serializable, so you should be able to just serialize the event objects, if your log message is.)

import org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent;
import org.junit.Test;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;

public class MyTest {
    @Test
    public void test() {
        final TestAppender appender = new TestAppender();
        final Logger logger = Logger.getRootLogger();
        logger.addAppender(appender);
        try {
            Logger.getLogger(MyTest.class).info("Test");
        }
        finally {
            logger.removeAppender(appender);
        }

        final List<LoggingEvent> log = appender.getLog();
        final LoggingEvent firstLogEntry = log.get(0);
        assertThat(firstLogEntry.getLevel(), is(Level.INFO));
        assertThat((String) firstLogEntry.getMessage(), is("Test"));
        assertThat(firstLogEntry.getLoggerName(), is("MyTest"));
    }
}

class TestAppender extends AppenderSkeleton {
    private final List<LoggingEvent> log = new ArrayList<LoggingEvent>();

    @Override
    public boolean requiresLayout() {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    protected void append(final LoggingEvent loggingEvent) {
        log.add(loggingEvent);
    }

    @Override
    public void close() {
    }

    public List<LoggingEvent> getLog() {
        return new ArrayList<LoggingEvent>(log);
    }
}

You can create a file as part of the test, no need to mock it out.

JUnit does have a nice functionality for creating files used for testing and automatically cleaning them up using the TemporaryFolder rule.

public class MyTestClass {

    @Rule
    public TemporaryFolder folder = new TemporaryFolder();

    @Test
    public void myTest() {
        // this folder gets cleaned up automatically by JUnit
        File file = folder.newFile("someTestFile.txt");

        // populate the file
        // run your test
    }
}

I think the answer is no -- perhaps you could pull it off with some intense reflection wrangling, but if so I don't think it would be worth your time.

But I think (without seeing your method), you can probably still get full coverage on your method:

• If your method takes any action after catching the exception, assert or verify that those actions happened.
  
  
• If no action happens after catching the exception, assert or verify that whatever actions were supposed to happen but were cut off by the exception, didn't happen.
  
  
• Finally, (again, not seeing your method I don't know exactly what you're dealing with) if your method is void, and nothing happens after catching the exception, and the last line of logic is what can throw the exception, then consider making your method return a boolean, have it return false if the exception is caught and true otherwise. Then in your test, make a scenario that should cause the exception to be thrown and caught, and test that the method returns false.
  
  

For Jersey web services testing there are several testing frameworks, namely: Jersey Test Framework (already mentioned in other answer - see here documentation for version 1.17 here: https://jersey.java.net/documentation/1.17/test-framework.html) and REST-Assured (https://code.google.com/p/rest-assured) - see here a comparison/setup of both (http://www.hascode.com/2011/09/rest-assured-vs-jersey-test-framework-testing-your-restful-web-services/).

I find the REST-Assured more interesting and powerful, but Jersey Test Framework is very easy to use too. In REST-Assured to write a test case "to check response status and json format" you could write the following test (very much like you do in jUnit):

package com.example.rest;

import static com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured.expect;
import groovyx.net.http.ContentType;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

import com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured;

public class Products{

    @Before
    public void setUp(){
        RestAssured.basePath = "http://localhost:8080";
    }

    @Test
    public void testGetProducts(){
        expect().statusCode(200).contentType(ContentType.JSON).when()
                .get("/getProducts/companyid/companyname/12345088723");
    }

}

This should do the trick for you... you can verify JSON specific elements also very easily and many other details. For instructions on more features you can check the very good guide from REST-Assured (https://code.google.com/p/rest-assured/wiki/Usage). Another good tutorial is this one http://www.hascode.com/2011/10/testing-restful-web-services-made-easy-using-the-rest-assured-framework/.

HTH.

Figured out.

The method being called was a parameterized method, but could not infer the parameter type from the matcher argument (the last argument was of type Class).

Making the explicit call

when(restTemplate.<Long>exchange(isA(URI.class),eq(HttpMethod.POST),isA(HttpEntity.class), eq(Long.class))).thenThrow(new RestClientException(EXCEPTION_MESSAGE));

fixed my problem.

JUnit 5 has @TestInstance(PER_CLASS) annotation that can be used for this purpose. One of the features that it enables is non-static BeforeAll and AfterAll methods:

@TestInstance(PER_CLASS)
class BeforeAllTests {

    lateinit var isInit = false

    @BeforeAll
    fun setup() {
        isInit = true
    }

   @TestFactory
   fun beforeAll() = listOf(
       should("initialize isInit in BeforeAll") {
           assertTrue(isInit)
       }
   )
}

fun should(name: String, test: () -> Unit) = DynamicTest.dynamicTest("should $name", test)

This sounds very much like you have the wrong version of the servlet API in the class path.

Check when isAsyncStarted was added to the API and make sure the one you reference in your classpath is at least that version or higher.

In order to find the location where the 'wrong' class version is comming from you can use the

-verbose:class

Argument for java. It will list all the classes loaded and if I remember correctly whery they get loaded from. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html for details.

I think you do need to cast it, but it shouldn't be too bad:

Foo<Bar> mockFoo = (Foo<Bar>) mock(Foo.class);
when(mockFoo.getValue()).thenReturn(new Bar());
