How to use postVisitDirectory method of org.mockito.osgitest.OsgiTest class

@Mock creates a mock. @InjectMocks creates an instance of the class and injects the mocks that are created with the @Mock (or @Spy) annotations into this instance.

Note you must use @RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) or Mockito.initMocks(this) to initialize these mocks and inject them (JUnit 4).

With JUnit 5, you must use @ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class).

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) // JUnit 4
// @ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class) for JUnit 5
public class SomeManagerTest {

    @InjectMocks
    private SomeManager someManager;

    @Mock
    private SomeDependency someDependency; // this will be injected into someManager
 
     // tests...

}

I recommend to use approach from article: https://github.com/mockito/mockito/wiki/Mocking-Object-Creation

You need to change little bit a class, applying approach for mocking from article in following way:

AwsHelper

public class AwsHelper {

    private AmazonSQS sqs;

    public void sendMessageToQueue(String message) {
        sqs = defaultClient();

        SendMessageRequest sendMessageRequest = new SendMessageRequest();
        sendMessageRequest.setQueueUrl("");
        sendMessageRequest.setMessageBody(message);
        sendMessageRequest.setMessageGroupId("");

        sqs.sendMessage(sendMessageRequest);
    }

    protected AmazonSQS defaultClient() {
        return AmazonSQSClientBuilder.defaultClient();
    }
}

AwsSQSReferralsUtilTest

public class AwsSQSReferralsUtilTest {

    @Spy
    private AwsHelper awsHelper;

    @Mock
    private AmazonSQS sqs;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp() {
        MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
    }
    
    @AfterMethod
    public void afterEachMethod() {
        Mockito.reset(awsHelper);
    }

    @Test
    public void shouldSendMessage() {
        //mocking object creation
        doReturn(sqs).when(awsHelper).defaultClient();

        when(sqs.sendMessage(any(SendMessageRequest.class))).thenReturn(new SendMessageRequest());
        awsHelper.sendMessageToQueue("");
    }

}

The problem with using RETURN_DEEP_STUBS is that you'll get a different mock each time you call a method. I think from your question that you want to use a default Answer that actually returns the mock on which it was called, for each method that has the right return type. This could look something like the following. Note that I haven't tested this, so it may contain typos, but I hope that the intention is clear in any case.

import static org.mockito.Mockito.RETURNS_DEFAULTS;
import org.mockito.invocation.InvocationOnMock;
import org.mockito.stubbing.Answer;

public class SelfReturningAnswer implements Answer<Object> {

    public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) throws Throwable {
        Object mock = invocation.getMock();
        if(invocation.getMethod().getReturnType().isInstance(mock)){
            return mock;
        }
        return RETURNS_DEFAULTS.answer(invocation);
    }
}

Then, when you create your mock, specify this as your default answer. This will make your mock return itself from each method that it can; but it will behave like an ordinary mock when you call a method whose return type is wrong for the mock.

Create your mock like this

Builder mockBuilder = mock( Builder.class, new SelfReturningAnswer());

or create a constant for this class and write something like

@Mock(answer = SELF_RETURNING) private Builder mockBuilder;

Hope that helps.

This sounds very much like you have the wrong version of the servlet API in the class path.

Check when isAsyncStarted was added to the API and make sure the one you reference in your classpath is at least that version or higher.

In order to find the location where the 'wrong' class version is comming from you can use the

-verbose:class

Argument for java. It will list all the classes loaded and if I remember correctly whery they get loaded from. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html for details.

PowerMockRunner is part of powermock-module-junit4.jar. You need to explicity import this jar

You could specify the dependency for this jar as per your requirement. Refer to this link.

Let me quote the official documentation:

Important gotcha on spying real objects!

Sometimes it's impossible to use when(Object) for stubbing spies. Example:

List list = new LinkedList();
List spy = spy(list);

// Impossible: real method is called so spy.get(0) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException (the list is yet empty)
when(spy.get(0)).thenReturn("foo");

// You have to use doReturn() for stubbing
doReturn("foo").when(spy).get(0);

In your case it goes something like:

doReturn(resultsIWant).when(myClassSpy).method1();

You need to first mock the class containing selectSomethingBySomething() and then record this behavior. In mockito you'll say:

SomeDao someDaoMock = mock(SomeDao.class);

willThrow(new SQLException())).given(someDaoMock).selectSomethingBySomething();

Then inject someDaoMock into your class under test and when it calls someDaoMock.selectSomethingBySomething() it'll throw previously chosen exception.

Mocks that return have the expectation that the return type matches the mocked object's return type.

Here's the mistake:

Mockito.when(remoteStore.get("a", "b")).thenReturn("lol");

"lol" isn't an Optional<String>, so it won't accept that as a valid return value.

The reason it worked when you did

Optional<Object> returnCacheValue = Optional.of((Object) returnCacheValueString);
Mockito.<Optional<Object>>when(remotestore.get("cache-name", "cache-key")).thenReturn(returnCacheValue);

is due to returnCacheValue being an Optional.

This is easy to fix: just change it to an Optional.of("lol") instead.

Mockito.when(remoteStore.get("a", "b")).thenReturn(Optional.of("lol"));

You can also do away with the type witnesses as well. The result above will be inferred to be Optional<String>.

Adding RETURNS_DEEP_STUBS did the trick:

A a = Mockito.mock(A.class, Mockito.RETURNS_DEEP_STUBS);
