How to use prints_chars method of org.mockito.internal.matchers.text.ValuePrinterTest class

With Mockito framework, you can use AdditionalMatchers

ClassA classA = Mockito.mock(ClassA.class);
Mockito.when(classA.getString(Matchers.eq("a"))).thenReturn("something"); 
Mockito.when(classA.getString(AdditionalMatchers.not(Matchers.eq("a")))).thenReturn("something else");

Hope it helps.

This could be achieved by PowerMockito framework.

import org.junit.Before;
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;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(SomeClass.class)
public class SomeClassTest {

    private SomeClass someInstance;

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {

        someInstance = PowerMockito.spy(new SomeClass());
    }

    @Test
    public void sendRequest() throws Exception {

        String json = "JSON";
        String text = "Some text";
        int messageId = 1;

        PowerMockito.doReturn(true).when(someInstance, "isMethod");
        PowerMockito.doReturn(messageId).when(someInstance, "getMessageId", json);

        someInstance.sendRequest(json, text);

        PowerMockito.verifyPrivate(someInstance).invoke("isMethod");
        PowerMockito.verifyPrivate(someInstance).invoke("getMessageId", json);
        PowerMockito.verifyPrivate(someInstance).invoke("sendMessage", messageId, text);
    }

}

The first issue is that you have to use spyTemp object to expect something from Mockito. Here it is not the same as test. spyTemp is wrapped by the Mockito object temp.

Another issue is that you stub only methodB(), but you are trying to run methodA(). Yes in your implementation of methodA() you call methodB(), but you call this.methodB(), not spyTemp.methodB(). Here you have to understand that mocking would work only when you call it on the instance of temp. It's wrapped by a Mockito proxy which catches your call, and if you have overriden some method, it will call your new implementation instead of the original one. But since the original method is called, inside it you know nothing about Mockito proxy. So your "overriden" method would be called only when you run spyTemp.methodB()

This should work:

Mockito.doReturn(true).when(spyTemp).methodB(Mockito.any()); 
boolean status = spyTemp.methodA("XYZ");

Instead of creating a equals method in your BPRequestVO class you can create a mock argument with "any(YourObject.class)" like this:

when(mockBPService.getProduct(any(BPRequestVO.class))).thenReturn(invalidServiceResponse);

Your test is on methods, but it tests the whole class behavior. If your inner class is private then its an implementation detail. Something that the test shouldn't know. It there's a lot of behaviour in that inner-class and you want to test it independently maybe you should make it public and separate from this class.

Maybe you think: but then... it's a lot of code to test (a very big indivisible thing), can't I test something smaller? Well... yes. Test Driven Development mandates to make a minimal implementation and add more code only if you add more tests. So you start with some test and minimal implementation and evolve both of them until the tests have all the specification and the code all the implementation.

So don't worry about private inner classes. Test your class contract!

Take a look at this reference in the official API. You want to reverse the way your call is made and adjust the argument too, since this is a void method that you expect to throw an exception.

doThrow(new ContentIOException()).when(StubbedObject).putContent(contentStream);

I got this when combining PowerMock with Mockito. Fixed by using compatible version as shown here: https://github.com/powermock/powermock/wiki/Mockito#supported-versions

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

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

I've never used Mockito, but want to learn, so here goes. If someone less clueless than me answers, try their answer first!

Mockito.when(reader.document(anyInt())).thenAnswer(new Answer() {
 public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
     Object[] args = invocation.getArguments();
     Object mock = invocation.getMock();
     return document(fakeIndex((int)(Integer)args[0]));
     }
 });
