How to use hasSimilarMethod method of org.mockito.internal.invocation.RealMethod class

This stub is wrong :

doNothing().when(mockObject.methodToStub(captor.capture())); // wrong

methodToStub(...) must be outside the when if using this API style (it should only contain the mock) :

doNothing().when(mockObject).methodToStub(captor.capture()); // correct

Tho remarks however :

1. doNothing is the default for void methods for a mock.
2. You can use the BDDMockito aliases that enables your code to be real à la Behavior Driven Development

Mockito mock works when we mock the objects loosely.

Here is the change i have made to make it work:

when(controlWfDefTypeService.getDqCntlWfDefnTypCd(any(DqCntlWfDefn.class))
    .thenReturn(dqCntlWfDefnTyp);

Instead of passing the object of the Mock class, I passed the class with the Matcher any() and it works.

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);
  }

You want to set up an Answer object that does that. Have a look at the Mockito documentation, at https://static.javadoc.io/org.mockito/mockito-core/2.8.47/org/mockito/Mockito.html#answer_stubs

You might write something like

when(mockService.doAction(any(Request.class), any(Callback.class))).thenAnswer(
    new Answer<Object>() {
        Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
            ((Callback<Response>) invocation.getArguments()[1]).reply(x);
            return null;
        }
});

(replacing x with whatever it ought to be, of course)

Declare the exception in the test method.

public void testAddUser() throws ServiceException {
...
}

I think it should be

verify(mockBar, times(2)).doSomething(...)

Sample from mockito javadoc:

ArgumentCaptor<Person> peopleCaptor = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Person.class);
verify(mock, times(2)).doSomething(peopleCaptor.capture());

List<Person> capturedPeople = peopleCaptor.getAllValues();
assertEquals("John", capturedPeople.get(0).getName());
assertEquals("Jane", capturedPeople.get(1).getName());

The parentheses are poorly placed.

You need to use:

doThrow(new Exception()).when(mockedObject).methodReturningVoid(...);
                                          ^

and NOT use:

doThrow(new Exception()).when(mockedObject.methodReturningVoid(...));
                                                                   ^

This is explained in the documentation

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.

The error message outlines the solution. The line

doNothing().when(cmd).dnsCheck(HOST, any(InetAddressFactory.class))

uses one raw value and one matcher, when it's required to use either all raw values or all matchers. A correct version might read

doNothing().when(cmd).dnsCheck(eq(HOST), any(InetAddressFactory.class))
