How to use PluginStackTraceFilteringTest class of org.mockitousage.plugins.stacktrace package

First you need to create a mock m_contractsDao and set it up. Assuming that the class is ContractsDao:

ContractsDao mock_contractsDao = mock(ContractsDao.class);
when(mock_contractsDao.save(any(String.class))).thenReturn("Some result");

Then inject the mock into m_orderSvc and call your method.

m_orderSvc.m_contractsDao = mock_contractsDao;
m_prog = new ProcessOrdersWorker(m_orderSvc, m_opportunitySvc, m_myprojectOrgSvc);
m_prog.work(); 

Finally, verify that the mock was called properly:

verify(mock_contractsDao, times(1)).save("Parameter I'm expecting");

The following suggestion let's you test abstract classes without creating a "real" subclass - the Mock is the subclass.

use Mockito.mock(My.class, Mockito.CALLS_REAL_METHODS), then mock any abstract methods that are invoked.

Example:

public abstract class My {
  public Result methodUnderTest() { ... }
  protected abstract void methodIDontCareAbout();
}

public class MyTest {
    @Test
    public void shouldFailOnNullIdentifiers() {
        My my = Mockito.mock(My.class, Mockito.CALLS_REAL_METHODS);
        Assert.assertSomething(my.methodUnderTest());
    }
}

Note: The beauty of this solution is that you do not have to implement the abstract methods, as long as they are never invoked.

In my honest opinion, this is neater than using a spy, since a spy requires an instance, which means you have to create an instantiatable subclass of your abstract class.

This method is used when you want to use polymorphism

public class A {
    ...
}

public class B extends A {
    ...
}

public class C extends A {
    ...
}

If you serialize an instance of C and then try to deserialize the resulting json but only knowing that its a sub-type of A :

final ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
final String json = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(new C());
final A deserialized = objectMapper.readValue(json, A.class);

You need something to be stored within the resulting JSON to keep the real type of the serialized object.

This can be enabled either using @JsonTypeInfo on your class, or by calling enableDefaultTyping on your ObjectMapper.

This is a sample test case using JUnit & Mockito

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializable;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import org.junit.Test;

import static org.mockito.Matchers.any;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.times;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.verify;

public class SerializeWithTypeTest {

    private JsonSerializable serializable = mock(JsonSerializable.class);

    @Test
    public void shouldCallSerializeWithType() throws Exception {
        final ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper().enableDefaultTyping(ObjectMapper.DefaultTyping.NON_FINAL);

        objectMapper.writeValueAsString(serializable);

        // make sure serializeWithType is called once
        verify(serializable, times(1)).serializeWithType(any(), any(), any());

    }

}

Personally, I have to say that PowerMock, etc. is the solution to a problem that you shouldn't have if your code wasn't bad. In some cases, it is required because frameworks, etc. use static methods that lead to code that simply cannot be tested otherwise, but if it's about YOUR code, you should always prefer refactoring instead of static mocking.

Anyway, verifing that in PowerMockito shouldn't be that hard...

PowerMockito.verifyStatic( Mockito.times(1)); // Verify that the following mock method was called exactly 1 time
SampleB.methodC();

(Of course, for this to work you must add SampleB to the @PrepareForTest annotation and call mockStatic for it.)

I got this exception even though I had a public method annotaded with @Test. Turned out was importing org.junit.jupiter.api.Test, I changed to org.junit.Test and it worked fine.

Well, it turns out I was wrong. Mockito uses CGLib and Objenesis to create the Object. If you follow that link it explains how it does not call the super class constructor.

This is easily tested with the following code:

public class Test
  public Test() {
    // Never called.
    System.out.println("Constructor was called.");
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Test test = mock(Test.class);
  }

Add below code or maven equivalent:

testRuntimeOnly "org.junit.platform:junit-platform-commons:1.7.0"

Explnation:
ClassNamePatternFilterUtils belongs to platfrom-commons which is transitive dependency. This class introduced in the 1.7.0 version. Hence, needs to explicity add the dependency.

In 2016 you can use runner delegate with PowerMockito, effectively using two runners:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PowerMockRunnerDelegate(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

Using void reset(T... mocks) will reset all stubbings on the mocks. If you just need to reset the invocation counts for subsequent verifications, use void clearInvocations(T... mocks).
