How to use should_scream_when_null_passed method of org.mockitousage.stubbing.StubbingWithThrowablesTest class

It should work using the @Captor annotation:

@Captor
    private ArgumentCaptor<ArrayList<SomeType>> captor;

Unfortunately I can't tell you why this happened, but I can tell you how to get around this issue.

The problem was, that PowerMockito scanned tha class path and also added the RESTeasy classes (which are located within the package 'javax.ws.*'. Therefor the above mentioned RuntimeDelegate was loaded by the PowerMockito classloader and caused later the issue, that the class was compared against one from a different classloader.

To get around this issue, tell PowerMockito to ignore the javax.ws package when scanning for classes:

@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.ws.*"})

Mocking static methods is available since Mockito 3.4.

See pull request: Mockito #1013: Defines and implements API for static mocking.

Please note that the fact that this feature is available is not equivalent with recommendation to use it. It is aimed at legacy apps where you cannot refactor the source code.

Having said that:

Test when static method takes no arguments:

try (MockedStatic<SomePublicClass> dummyStatic = Mockito.mockStatic(SomePublicClass.class)) {
    dummyStatic.when(SomePublicClass::myPublicStaticFunc)
               .thenReturn(5);
    // when
    System.out.println(SomePublicClass.myPublicStaticFunc());
    //then
    dummyStatic.verify(
            times(1),
            SomePublicClass::myPublicStaticFunc
    );
}

Test when static methods takes arguments:

try (MockedStatic<SomePublicClass> dummyStatic = Mockito.mockStatic(SomePublicClass.class)) {
    dummyStatic.when(() -> SomePublicClass.myPublicStaticFunc(anyInt()))
               .thenReturn(5);
    // when
    System.out.println(SomePublicClass.myPublicStaticFunc(7));
    //then
    dummyStatic.verify(
            times(1), 
            () -> SomePublicClass.myPublicStaticFunc(anyInt())
    );
}

Caused by: org.mockito.exceptions.base.MockitoException: Checked exception is invalid for this method! Invalid: java.net.ConnectException: Test exception

As stated by the exception message (and told in comments), you have to throw a RestClientException, not a ConnectException:

Mockito.when(restOperations.exchange(
        Mockito.anyString(), Mockito.<HttpMethod>any(), Mockito.<HttpEntity<?>>any(),
        Mockito.<Class<UserByRoleHolder>>any())).thenThrow(new RestClientException("Test exception"));

You get this error message, because the method exchange declares no thrown exception and ConnectException is a checked exception (i.e. must be declared when thrown).

Question might be a bit old but I will put an answer in case someone stumbles across.

• I'm using Mockito and JUnit.
• AccountRepository is a plain spring data repository extending JPARepository.
• Account is a plain JPA entity.

To test your services and mock Spring Data repositories, you need something like below.

package foo.bar.service.impl;

import foo.bar.data.entity.Account;
import foo.bar.data.repository.AccountRepository;
import foo.bar.service.AccountService;

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner;

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class AccountServiceImplTest {

    @Mock
    private static AccountRepository accountRepository;

    @InjectMocks
    private static AccountService accountService = new AccountServiceImpl();

    private Account account;

    @Test
    public void testFindAccount() {

        Integer accountId = new Integer(1);

        account = new Account();
        account.setId(accountId);
        account.setName("Account name");
        account.setCode("Accont code");
        account.setDescription("Account description");

        Mockito.when(accountRepository.findOne(accountId)).thenReturn(account);

        Account retrivedAccount = accountService.findAccount(accountId);

        Assert.assertEquals(account, retrivedAccount);

    }

}

You are looking for an ArgumentCaptor:

  Mock mock =  Mockito.mock(Mock.class);
  ArgumentCaptor<String> captor = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(String.class);
  mock.method("input");
  Mockito.verify(mock).method(captor.capture());
  String actualValue = captor.getValue();

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);

I'll leave this here for future reference and to be able to elaborate a bit more, even though I've answered in the comments.

What you're trying to accomplish is to put the stream in the onError flow. Unfortunately, by mocking it like this:

Mockito.`when`(apiManager.getPlacesPagedObservable(
                   Mockito.anyString(), Mockito.anyInt()))
                           .thenThrow(Exception(EXCEPTION_MESSAGE1))

You're actually telling Mockito to setup your mock in a way that just calling apiManager.getPlacesPagedObservable(anystring, anystring) should thrown an exception.

It is indeed true that throwing an exception inside an Rx stream will cause the entire stream to stop and end up in the onError method. However, this is exactly the problem with the approach you're using. You're not inside the stream when the exception is thrown.

Instead what you want to do is tell Mockito that once you call apiManager.getPlacesPagedObservable(anystring, anystring) you want to return a stream that will end up in the onError. This can be easily achieved with Observable.error() like so:

Mockito.`when`(apiManager.getPlacesPagedObservable(
               Mockito.a‌​nyString(), Mockito.anyInt()))
                    .thenReturn(Observable.error(
                                Exception(EXCEPTION_MESSAGE1)))

(It might be possible that you need to add some type information in this part here Observable.error(), you might also need to use something else instead of an observable - single, completable, etc.)

The mocking above will tell Mockito to setup your mock to return an observable that will error as soon as it's subscribed to. This will in turn put your subscriber directly in the onError stream with the specified exception.

In JUnit, Parameterized tests use a special runner that ensure that the test is instantiated multiple times, so each test method is called multiple times. Mockito is a tool for writing specific unit tests, so there is no built-in ability to run the same test multiple times with different Mockito expectations.

If you want your test conditions to change, your best bet is to do one of the following:

• Parameterize your test using JUnit, with a parameter for the mock inputs you want;
• Run a loop of different parameters in your test, which unfortunately avoids the "test one thing per method" philosophy
• Extract a method that actually performs the test, and create a new @Test method for each mock you want.

Note that there's no prohibition on using mock objects as @Parameterized test parameters. If you're looking to parameterize based on mocks, you can do that, possibly creating the mock and setting the expectations in a static method on the test.

Note about runners: This Parameterized test runner conflicts with Mockito's MockitoJUnitRunner: Each test class can only have one runner. You'll want to switch to @Before and @After methods or a Mockito JUnit4 rule for your setup, if you use them both.

As an example, compressed from a different answer that explains more about Parameterized runners versus JUnit rules and lifting from the JUnit4 Parameterized Test doc page and MockitoRule doc page:

@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
public class YourComponentTest {
    @Rule public MockitoRule rule = MockitoJUnit.rule();
    @Mock YourDep mockYourDep;

    @Parameters public static Collection<Object[]> data() { /* Return the values */ }

    public YourComponentTest(Parameter parameter) { /* Save the parameter to a field */ }

    @Test public void test() { /* Use the field value in assertions */ }
}
