throw checked Exceptions from mocks with Mockito
From what I read on "Issue 53" of mockito (https://code.google.com/p/mockito/issues/detail?id=53) , my code was experiencing a problem due to the validation framework involved in Mockito. Precisely the following code was causing the exception per se.
private ConstantNode getConstantNode(NumericalValue value){
ConstantNode node = Mockito.mock(ConstantNode.class);
Mockito.when(node.evaluate()).thenReturn(value);
Mockito.when(node.toString()).thenReturn(value.toString());
return node;
}
If you remember from my code, the parameter value is ALSO A MOCK, so that when value.toString()
is called on the thenReturn()
, I believe (and someone please correct me if I am wrong) that the validation framework is triggered and makes sure that every "when" has had its thenReturn()
called/validated/etc. So that if this happenes, the Mockito.when(node.toString()).thenReturn(value.toString()
will not be validated because it hasn´t returned from the valute.toString()
, which started the whole "validate everything" chain.
How I fixed it:
private ConstantNode getConstantNode(NumericalValue value){
ConstantNode node = Mockito.mock(ConstantNode.class);
Mockito.when(node.evaluate()).thenReturn(value);
String numberToString = value.toString();
Mockito.when(node.toString()).thenReturn(numberToString);
return node;
}
This way, it can be validated. I find this a complete code smell because I will literally have to leave a comment that explains why I am using a seemingly useless intermediate variable in the code.
Thanks for the help.

Testing is a critical step in any web application development process. However, it can be an overwhelming task if you don’t have the right tools and expertise. A large percentage of websites still launch with errors that frustrate users and negatively affect the overall success of the site. When a website faces failure after launch, it costs time and money to fix.
Nowadays, automation is becoming integral to the overall quality of the products being developed. Especially for mobile applications, it’s even more important to implement automation robustly.
With new-age project development methodologies like Agile and DevOps slowly replacing the old-age waterfall model, the demand for testing is increasing in the industry. Testers are now working together with the developers and automation testing is vastly replacing manual testing in many ways. If you are new to the domain of automation testing, the organization that just hired you, will expect you to be fast, think out of the box, and able to detect bugs or deliver solutions which no one thought of. But with just basic knowledge of testing, how can you be that successful test automation engineer who is different from their predecessors? What are the skills to become a successful automation tester in 2019? Let’s find out.
Software Risk Management (SRM) combines a set of tools, processes, and methods for managing risks in the software development lifecycle. In SRM, we want to make informed decisions about what can go wrong at various levels within a company (e.g., business, project, and software related).
If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that toggle switches are all around us because lots of things have two simple states: either ON or OFF (in binary 1 or 0).
