How to use should_return_on_success method of org.mockito.internal.verification.VerificationOverTimeImplTest class

It should be something like

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class aTest () {

    @Mock
    private B b;

    @Mock
    private C c;

    @Autowired
    @InjectMocks
    private A a;

}

If you want D to be Autowired dont need to do anything in your Test class. Your Autowired A should have correct instance of D. Also i think you need to use SpringJUnit4ClassRunner for Autowiring to work, with contextConfiguration set correctly. Because you are not using MockitoJunitRunner you need to initialize your mocks yourself using

MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(java.lang.Object testClass)

In the "Help me to start" thread on the mockito discussion group on Google, Szczepan Faber, the project owner of mockito, suggests:

• the Documentation which includes some examples
• Brett L. Schuchert's tutorial

I'd take a look at the posts in the mockito category of Szczepan's blog too.

Just use the org.joda.time.DateTimeUtils#setCurrentMillisFixed method of JodaTime which was designed to fix new DateTime() to a different time than the current time. To return to the normal time use org.joda.time.DateTimeUtils#setCurrentMillisSystem afterwards. No mocking needed.

@Test
public void test() {
DateTimeUtils.setCurrentMillisFixed(10L);
// .. your code
}

@After
public void cleanup() {
// Make sure to cleanup afterwards
DateTimeUtils.setCurrentMillisSystem()
}

You can do it either:

with @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

  @Test
  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  void TestDoSomething(){
    SubClass sb = mock(SubClass.class);

    Example ex = new Example(sb);

    ArgumentCaptor<Map<String, CompoundClass>> argCaptor = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Map.class);

    ex.doSomeThing();

    verify(sb).doSomeThingSubClass(argCaptor.capture());

    System.out.println(argCaptor.getValue().get("x").a);
  }

or with junit5 and @Captor annotation:

import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.verify;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.TestInstance;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.TestInstance.Lifecycle;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtendWith;
import org.mockito.ArgumentCaptor;
import org.mockito.Captor;
import org.mockito.junit.jupiter.MockitoExtension;

@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_METHOD)
public class TestDoSomething {

  @Captor
  private ArgumentCaptor<Map<String, CompoundClass>> argCaptor;

  @Test
  void TestDoSomething2(){
    SubClass sb = mock(SubClass.class);

    Example ex = new Example(sb);

    ex.doSomeThing();

    verify(sb).doSomeThingSubClass(argCaptor.capture());

    System.out.println(argCaptor.getValue().get("x").a);
  }
}

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.

Something like this should do it (not tested):

doAnswer(new Answer() {
    public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
        Object[] args = invocation.getArguments();
        List<?> list = (List<?>) args[0];
        list.clear();
        return null;
    }
}).when(test).clearList(any(List.class));

This post does not directly answer your question but provides a different point of view.

One approach to make your clients consistently call close is to free them from this responsibility.

How can you do it?

Use template pattern.

Sketch implementation

You mentioned that you're working with TCP, so let's assume that you have a TcpConnection class that has a close() method.

Let's define TcpConnectionOperations interface:

public interface TcpConnectionOperations {
  <T> T doWithConnection(TcpConnectionAction<T> action);
}

and implement it:

public class TcpConnectionTemplate implements TcpConnectionOperations {
  @Override
  public <T> T doWithConnection(TcpConnectionAction<T> action) {
    try (TcpConnection tcpConnection = getConnection()) {
      return action.doWithConnection(tcpConnection);
    }
  }
}

TcpConnectionAction is just a callback, nothing fancy.

public interface TcpConnectionAction<T> {
  T doWithConnection(TcpConnection tcpConnection);
}

How the library should be consumed now?

• It must be consumed only through TcpConnectionOperations interface.
• Consumers supply actions

For example:

String s = tcpConnectionOperations.doWithConnection(connection -> {
  // do what we with with the connection
  // returning to string for example
  return connection.toString();
});

Pros

• Clients don't have to worry about:
• • getting a TcpConnection
• • closing the connection
• You are in control of creating connections:
• • you can cache them
• • log them
• • collect statistics
• • many other use cases...
• In tests you can provide mock TcpConnectionOperations and mock TcpConnections and make assertions against them

Cons

This approach may not work if the lifecycle of a resource is longer than action. E.g. it is necessary for the client to keep the resource for a longer time.

Then you might want to dive deep in ReferenceQueue/Cleaner (since Java 9) and related API.

Inspired by Spring framework

This pattern is widely used in Spring framework.

See for example:

• JdbcTemplate
• TransactionTemplate
• JmsTemplate.
• (there are many others)

Update 2/7/19

How can I cache/reuse the resource?

This is some kind of pooling:

a pool is a collection of resources that are kept ready to use, rather than acquired on use and released

Some pools in Java:

• HikariCP is a JDBC connection pool library
• OkHttps ConnectionPool
• Tomcat JDBC Connection pool
• ThreadPoolExecutor

When implementing a pool several questions are raised:

• When the resource actually should be closed?
• How the resource should be shared between multiple threads?

When the resource should be closed?

Usually pools provide an explicit close method (it may have a different name but the purpose is the same) which closes all the resources held.

• HikariDataSource#close
• ConnectionPool#evictAll "Close and remove all idle connections in the pool."
• ConnectionPool#close
• ThreadPoolExecutor#shutdown

How it can be shared across multiple threads?

It depends on a kind of the resource itself.

Usually you want to ensure that only one thread accesses one resource.

This can be done using some kind of locking

Demo

Note that code provided here is only for demonstration purposes It has awful performance and violates some OOP principles.

IpAndPort.java

@Value
public class IpAndPort {
  InetAddress address;
  int port;
}

TcpConnection.java

@Data
public class TcpConnection {
  private static final AtomicLong counter = new AtomicLong();

  private final IpAndPort ipAndPort;
  private final long instance = counter.incrementAndGet();

  public void close() {
    System.out.println("Closed " + this);
  }
}

CachingTcpConnectionTemplate.java

public class CachingTcpConnectionTemplate implements TcpConnectionOperations {
  private final Map<IpAndPort, TcpConnection> cache
      = new HashMap<>();
  private boolean closed; 
  public CachingTcpConnectionTemplate() {
    System.out.println("Created new template");
  }

  @Override
  public synchronized <T> T doWithConnectionTo(IpAndPort ipAndPort, TcpConnectionAction<T> action) {
    if (closed) {
      throw new IllegalStateException("Closed");
    }
    TcpConnection tcpConnection = cache.computeIfAbsent(ipAndPort, this::getConnection);
    try {
      System.out.println("Executing action with connection " + tcpConnection);
      return action.doWithConnection(tcpConnection);
    } finally {
      System.out.println("Returned connection " + tcpConnection);
    }
  }

  private TcpConnection getConnection(IpAndPort ipAndPort) {
    return new TcpConnection(ipAndPort);
  }


  @Override
  public synchronized void close() {
    if (closed) {
      throw new IllegalStateException("closed");
    }
    closed = true;
    for (Map.Entry<IpAndPort, TcpConnection> entry : cache.entrySet()) {
      entry.getValue().close();
    }
    System.out.println("Template closed");
  }
}

Tests infrastructure

TcpConnectionOperationsParameterResolver.java

public class TcpConnectionOperationsParameterResolver implements ParameterResolver, AfterAllCallback {
  private final CachingTcpConnectionTemplate tcpConnectionTemplate = new CachingTcpConnectionTemplate();

  @Override
  public boolean supportsParameter(ParameterContext parameterContext, ExtensionContext extensionContext) throws ParameterResolutionException {
    return parameterContext.getParameter().getType().isAssignableFrom(CachingTcpConnectionTemplate.class)
        && parameterContext.isAnnotated(ReuseTemplate.class);
  }

  @Override
  public Object resolveParameter(ParameterContext parameterContext, ExtensionContext extensionContext) throws ParameterResolutionException {
    return tcpConnectionTemplate;
  }

  @Override
  public void afterAll(ExtensionContext context) throws Exception {
    tcpConnectionTemplate.close();
  }
}

The ParameterResolver and AfterAllCallback are from JUnit.

@ReuseTemplate is a custom annotation

ReuseTemplate.java:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface ReuseTemplate {
}

Finally test:

@ExtendWith(TcpConnectionOperationsParameterResolver.class)
public class Tests2 {
  private final TcpConnectionOperations tcpConnectionOperations;

  public Tests2(@ReuseTemplate TcpConnectionOperations tcpConnectionOperations) {
    this.tcpConnectionOperations = tcpConnectionOperations;
  }

  @Test
  void google80() throws UnknownHostException {
    tcpConnectionOperations.doWithConnectionTo(new IpAndPort(InetAddress.getByName("google.com"), 80), tcpConnection -> {
      System.out.println("Using " + tcpConnection);
      return tcpConnection.toString();
    });
  }

  @Test
  void google80_2() throws Exception {
    tcpConnectionOperations.doWithConnectionTo(new IpAndPort(InetAddress.getByName("google.com"), 80), tcpConnection -> {
      System.out.println("Using " + tcpConnection);
      return tcpConnection.toString();
    });
  }

  @Test
  void google443() throws Exception {
    tcpConnectionOperations.doWithConnectionTo(new IpAndPort(InetAddress.getByName("google.com"), 443), tcpConnection -> {
      System.out.println("Using " + tcpConnection);
      return tcpConnection.toString();
    });
  }
}

Running:

$ mvn test

Output:

Template closed

The key observation here is that connections are reused (see "instance=")

This is oversimplified example of what can be done. Sure, in the real world pooling connections is not so simple. The pool should not grow indefinitely, connections can be kept only for specific period of time and so on. Usually some problems are solved by having something in the background.

Returning to the question

I don't see how to use try-with-resources statement in the context of tests (I'm using JUnit5 with Mockito), in that the "resource" is not short-lived - it is part of the test fixture.

See Junit 5 User Guide. Extension model

Being diligent as always, I tried implementing finalize() and testing for closure there, but it turns out finalize() is not even called (Java10). This is also marked as deprecated and I'm sure this idea will be frowned upon.

You overrode finalize so that it throws an exception but they are ignored.

See Object#finalize

If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

The best you can do here is to log the resource leakage and close the resource

To be clear, I want the application's tests (that use my library) to fail if they don't call close() on my objects.

How do application tests use your resource? Do they instantiate it using new operator? If yes then I think PowerMock can help you (but I'm not sure)

If you have hidden instantiation of the resource behind some kind of a factory then you can give the application tests some mock factory

If you're interested you can watch this talk. It's in Russian, but still may be helpful (part of my answer is based on this talk).

For void methods, I think you need to use the doThrow syntax.

So in your case it would be:

doThrow(BookingException.builder().build())
      .when(booking)
      .validate(any());

Your problem is the order of execution. The context is created containing your MockBean before you have a chance to set it up in your @Test. The solution is to provide a RestTemplateBuilder that's already fully setup when it's inserted into the context. You can do that like this.

Add the following to your @SpringBootTest annotation. Where TestApplication is your Spring Boot application class.

classes = {TestApplication.class, MyIT.ContextConfiguration.class},

Modify your class members thus, deleting your restTemplate and restTemplateBuilder.

@Autowired
private TestRestTemplate testRestTemplate;

Add a static inner class to your MyIT class:

@Configuration
static class ContextConfiguration {
  @Bean
  public RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder() {

    RestTemplateBuilder rtb = mock(RestTemplateBuilder.class);
    RestTemplate restTemplate = mock(RestTemplate.class);

    when(rtb.build()).thenReturn(restTemplate);
    return rtb;
  }
}

In your tests, modify the RestTemplate mock to do whatever you want:

@Test
public void someTest() {

  when(testRestTemplate.getRestTemplate().getForEntity(...
}
