How to use shouldAllowTimesZeroButOnlyInOrder method of org.mockitousage.verification.BasicVerificationInOrderTest class

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why not just do this:

Map.Entry<Integer, Action> entrySet = <whatever you want it to return>
Map mockAvailableActions = mock(Map.class);
when(mockAvailableActions.entrySet()).thenReturn(entrySet);

Also consider whether you actually need a mock Map at all, wouldn't a real one do the job? Mocks are usually used to replace other pieces of your code which you don't want to be involved in your unit test, a Map is part of the core Java language and isn't usually mocked out.

If you can't change the code, you can use Powermock along with junit and Mockito to mock the construction of new objects.

@Test
public void testDoWork() throws Exception{

    MyTest mytest = new MyTest();

    OtherObj obj = new OtherObj();
    obj.test="mocked Test"; //here you can add any other needed values to obj

    PowerMockito.whenNew(OtherObj.class).withNoArguments().thenReturn(obj);

    String result = mytest.doWork();
    Assert.assertTrue(result.equalsIgnoreCase("mocked Test"));
}

If you want the mocked method to call a method on (or otherwise alter) a parameter, you'll need to write an Answer as in this question ("How to mock a void return method affecting an object").

From Kevin Welker's answer there:

doAnswer(new Answer() {
    Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
        Object[] args = invocation.getArguments();
        ((MyClass)args[0]).myClassSetMyField(NEW_VALUE);
        return null; // void method, so return null
    }
}).when(mock).someMethod();

Note that newer best-practices would have a type parameter for Answer, as in Answer<Void>, and that Java 8's lambdas can compress the syntax further. For example:

doAnswer(invocation -> {
  Object[] args = invocation.getArguments();
  ((MyClass)args[0]).myClassSetMyField(NEW_VALUE);
  return null; // void method in a block-style lambda, so return null
}).when(mock).someMethod();

Only mock the things which you cannot create or pass through yourself. Do not mock any passed-in entities; providing a fake version is often far superior.

In this scenario, we can get away with a couple of things since we know a few things about our test:

• We are getting back a Customer instance from the customerService, but we don't need to do any sort of validation on that instance.
• We have to mock the customerService out since it is an injected dependency.

In light of these two things, we should mock out CustomerService, which you do kind of successfully - since the field is named the same you don't need the extra metadata in the annotation.

@Mock
private CustomerService customerService;

You should also look to use the test runner provided with Mockito so you don't have to explicitly initialize the mocks.

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class RestaurantTest {
    // tests
}

Now, on to the actual unit test. The only thing that really sucks is that you have to provide an instance of a Customer to use, but outside of that, it's not too bad. Our givens are the instance of CustomerData we want to mutate, and the Customer we're providing for test. We then have to simply assert the values that we care about are coming back for our test CustomerData instance.

@Test
public void updateCustomer_WithValidInput_ShouldReturnUpdatedInput(){
    //given
    final Customer customer = new Customer();
    customer.setId("123");
    customer.setAddress("Addr1");
    customer.setName("Bob");
    customer.setCity("St8")
    customer.setLanguage("Java");

    final CustomerInputData inputData = new CustomerInputData();
    inputData.setId(customer.getId());

    //when
    when(customerService.getCustomerById(customer.getId())).thenReturn(customer);
    classUnderTest.updateCustomer(customerData);

    //then
    verify(customerService.getCustomerById("123"));
    assertThat(customerData.getCustomerName(), equalTo(customer.getName()))
    // and so forth
}

(Slight disclaimer, I've never done this personally, just read about it in the javadoc)... If all of your methods on your mock interface would be ok with the same default behaviour, you could set the default answer on your mock in a manner like:

Foo myMock = Mockito.mock(Foo.class,new ThrowsExceptionClass(IllegalArgumentException.class));
Mockito.when(myMock.doSomething(Matchers.eq("1"))).thenReturn("1");

JavaDoc Links for: Mockito#mock and ThrowsExceptionClass

Alternatively, as is discussed in the Stubbing tutorial, order of the stubbing matters and last matching wins, so you might be able to also do:

Foo myMock = Mockito.mock(Foo.class);
Mockito.when(myMock.doSomething(Matchers.any(String.class))).thenThrow(IllegalArgumentException.class);
Mockito.when(myMock.doSomething(Matchers.eq("1"))).thenReturn("1");

InOrder helps you to do that.

ServiceClassA firstMock = mock(ServiceClassA.class);
ServiceClassB secondMock = mock(ServiceClassB.class);

Mockito.doNothing().when(firstMock).methodOne();   
Mockito.doNothing().when(secondMock).methodTwo();  

//create inOrder object passing any mocks that need to be verified in order
InOrder inOrder = inOrder(firstMock, secondMock);

//following will make sure that firstMock was called before secondMock
inOrder.verify(firstMock).methodOne();
inOrder.verify(secondMock).methodTwo();

I've come across a similar problem when mocking builders, so I thought I'd experiment to see if there is a nicer way.

As Mr Spoon said, it's probably nicer if you can avoid doing do this in the first place as it is not your code and could be assumed to "just work", but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.

I've come up with a (maybe crude) way of doing it by using "default answers" in Mockito. I'm still deciding if I like it or not.

Here's my builder...

public class MyBuilder {

    private StringBuilder my;

    public MyBuilder() {
        my = new StringBuilder();
    }

    public MyBuilder name(String name) {
        my.append("[name=").append(name).append("]");
        return this;
    }

    public MyBuilder age(String age) {
        my.append("[age=").append(age).append("]");
        return this;
    }

    public String create() {
        return my.toString();
    }
}

(Pretty basic right?)

I got my test to look something like this...

// Create a "BuilderMocker" (any better name suggestions welcome!) 
BuilderMocker<MyBuilder> mocker = BuilderMocker.forClass(MyBuilder.class);
// Get the actual mock builder
MyBuilder builder = mocker.build();

// expect this chain of method calls...
mocker.expect().name("[NAME]").age("[AGE]");

// expect this end-of-chain method call...
Mockito.when(builder.create()).thenReturn("[ARGH!]");

Now if I do the following...

System.out.println(builder.name("[NAME]").age("[AGE]").create());

...I expect "[ARGH!]" to be output.

If I altered the last line...

System.out.println(builder.name("[NOT THIS NAME]").age("[AGE]").create());

...then I expect it to break with a NullPointerException.

Here is the actual "BuilderMocker"...

import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.withSettings;

import org.mockito.invocation.InvocationOnMock;
import org.mockito.stubbing.Answer;

public class BuilderMocker<T> {

    private Class<T> clazz;
    private T recorder;
    private T mock;

    // Create a BuilderMocker for the class
    public static <T> BuilderMocker<T> forClass(Class<T> clazz) {
        return new BuilderMocker<T>(clazz);
    }

    private BuilderMocker(Class<T> clazz) {
        this.clazz = clazz;
        this.mock = mock(clazz);
        createRecorder();
    }

    // Sets up the "recorder"
    private void createRecorder() {
        recorder = mock(clazz, withSettings().defaultAnswer(new Answer<Object>() {

            @Override
            public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) throws Throwable {
                // If it is a chained method...
                if (invocation.getMethod().getReturnType().equals(clazz)) {
                    // Set expectation on the "real" mock...
                    when(invocation.getMethod().invoke(mock, invocation.getArguments())).thenReturn(mock);
                    return recorder;
                }
                return null;
            }

        }));
    }

    // Use this to "record" the expected method chain
    public T expect() {
        return recorder;
    }

    // Use this to get the "real" mock...
    public T build() {
        return mock;
    }
}

Not sure if there is a "built-in" way of doing this in Mockito, but this seems to work.

I had to add the spring-context-support JAR to my project for it to work. Here's the Maven pom.xml entry:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context-support</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

What you want to do is a combination of part of 1 and all of 2.

You need to use the PowerMockito.mockStatic to enable static mocking for all static methods of a class. This means make it possible to stub them using the when-thenReturn syntax.

But the 2-argument overload of mockStatic you are using supplies a default strategy for what Mockito/PowerMock should do when you call a method you haven't explicitly stubbed on the mock instance.

From the javadoc:

Creates class mock with a specified strategy for its answers to interactions. It's quite advanced feature and typically you don't need it to write decent tests. However it can be helpful when working with legacy systems. It is the default answer so it will be used only when you don't stub the method call.

The default default stubbing strategy is to just return null, 0 or false for object, number and boolean valued methods. By using the 2-arg overload, you're saying "No, no, no, by default use this Answer subclass' answer method to get a default value. It returns a Long, so if you have static methods which return something incompatible with Long, there is a problem.

Instead, use the 1-arg version of mockStatic to enable stubbing of static methods, then use when-thenReturn to specify what to do for a particular method. For example:

import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.invocation.InvocationOnMock;
import org.mockito.stubbing.Answer;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

class ClassWithStatics {
  public static String getString() {
    return "String";
  }

  public static int getInt() {
    return 1;
  }
}

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(ClassWithStatics.class)
public class StubJustOneStatic {
  @Test
  public void test() {
    PowerMockito.mockStatic(ClassWithStatics.class);

    when(ClassWithStatics.getString()).thenReturn("Hello!");

    System.out.println("String: " + ClassWithStatics.getString());
    System.out.println("Int: " + ClassWithStatics.getInt());
  }
}

The String-valued static method is stubbed to return "Hello!", while the int-valued static method uses the default stubbing, returning 0.
