How to use assertNoAnnotations method of org.mockito.internal.configuration.injection.scanner.InjectMocksScanner class

The code you posted works for me with the latest version of Mockito and Powermockito. Maybe you haven't prepared A? Try this:

A.java

public class A {
     private final String test;

    public A(String test) {
        this.test = test;
    }

    public String check() {
        return "checked " + this.test;
    }
}

MockA.java

import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.equalTo;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(A.class)
public class MockA {
    @Test
    public void test_not_mocked() throws Throwable {
        assertThat(new A("random string").check(), equalTo("checked random string"));
    }
    @Test
    public void test_mocked() throws Throwable {
         A a = mock(A.class); 
         when(a.check()).thenReturn("test");
         PowerMockito.whenNew(A.class).withArguments(Mockito.anyString()).thenReturn(a);
         assertThat(new A("random string").check(), equalTo("test"));
    }
}

Both tests should pass with mockito 1.9.0, powermockito 1.4.12 and junit 4.8.2

This is a perfect example for making functions more testable. This function takes no input and produces no output, affecting the world only via side effect, making it completely untestable through standard means.

To refactor this function to make it more testable:

• Don't ask the user for input via scanner, take the user's input as an input parameter.
• Don't print the result, return it.

The caller of the function can then decide how to provide the inputs and what to do with the output. Your modified program can ask for user input, call the function, then print the output. A testing framework can supply the input from a list of inputs to test, and check the outputs against the expected values.

In new Mockito versions you can use stubbing consecutive calls to throw exception on first can and returning a value on a second call.

when(mock.someMethod("some arg"))
    .thenThrow(new RuntimeException())
    .thenReturn("foo");

New feature added to Mockito makes this even easier,

ArgumentCaptor<Person> argument = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Person.class);
verify(mock).doSomething(argument.capture());
assertEquals("John", argument.getValue().getName());

Take a look at Mockito documentation

In case when there are more than one parameters, and capturing of only single param is desired, use other ArgumentMatchers to wrap the rest of the arguments:

verify(mock).doSomething(eq(someValue), eq(someOtherValue), argument.capture());
assertEquals("John", argument.getValue().getName());

According to the Mockito documentation, you can make a mock serializable:

List serializableMock = mock(List.class, withSettings().serializable());

You can absolutely inject mocks on MyLauncher in your test. I am sure if you show what mocking framework you are using someone would be quick to provide an answer. With mockito I would look into using @RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) and using annotations for myLauncher. It would look something like what is below.

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class MyLauncherTest
    @InjectMocks
    private MyLauncher myLauncher = new MyLauncher();

    @Mock
    private MyService myService;

    @Test
    public void someTest() {

    }
}

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....
                          })

The following code sample from this Mockito documentation illustrates how to mock a void method:

doThrow(new RuntimeException()).when(mockedList).clear();

// following throws RuntimeException:
mockedList.clear();

You can't do this with Mockito, but Apache Commons actually has a way to do this using one of its built in utilities. You can put this in a function in JUnit that is run after Mockito injects the rest of the mocks but before your test cases run, like this:

@InjectMocks
MyClass myClass;

@Before
public void before() throws Exception {
    FieldUtils.writeField(myClass, "fieldName", fieldValue, true);
}
