      • serializable

        public MockSettings serializable()
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Configures the mock to be serializable. With this feature you can use a mock in a place that requires dependencies to be serializable.

        WARNING: This should be rarely used in unit testing.

        The behaviour was implemented for a specific use case of a BDD spec that had an unreliable external dependency. This was in a web environment and the objects from the external dependency were being serialized to pass between layers.

        Example:

        
           List serializableMock = mock(List.class, withSettings().serializable());
         
        Specified by:
        serializable in interface MockSettings
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • serializable

        public MockSettings serializable​(SerializableMode mode)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Configures the mock to be serializable with a specific serializable mode. With this feature you can use a mock in a place that requires dependencies to be serializable.

        WARNING: This should be rarely used in unit testing.

           List serializableMock = mock(List.class, withSettings().serializable(SerializableMode.ACROSS_CLASSLOADERS));
         
        Specified by:
        serializable in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        mode - serialization mode
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • extraInterfaces

        public MockSettings extraInterfaces​(java.lang.Class<?>... extraInterfaces)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Specifies extra interfaces the mock should implement. Might be useful for legacy code or some corner cases.

        This mysterious feature should be used very occasionally. The object under test should know exactly its collaborators & dependencies. If you happen to use it often than please make sure you are really producing simple, clean & readable code.

        Examples:

        
           Foo foo = mock(Foo.class, withSettings().extraInterfaces(Bar.class, Baz.class));
        
           //now, the mock implements extra interfaces, so following casting is possible:
           Bar bar = (Bar) foo;
           Baz baz = (Baz) foo;
         
        Specified by:
        extraInterfaces in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        extraInterfaces - extra interfaces the should implement.
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • name

        public MockSettings name​(java.lang.String name)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Specifies mock name. Naming mocks can be helpful for debugging - the name is used in all verification errors.

        Beware that naming mocks is not a solution for complex code which uses too many mocks or collaborators. If you have too many mocks then refactor the code so that it's easy to test/debug without necessity of naming mocks.

        If you use @Mock annotation then you've got naming mocks for free! @Mock uses field name as mock name. Read more.

        Examples:

        
           Foo foo = mock(Foo.class, withSettings().name("foo"));
        
           //Below does exactly the same:
           Foo foo = mock(Foo.class, "foo");
         
        Specified by:
        name in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the mock, later used in all verification errors
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • spiedInstance

        public MockSettings spiedInstance​(java.lang.Object spiedInstance)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Specifies the instance to spy on. Makes sense only for spies/partial mocks. Sets the instance that will be spied. Actually copies the internal fields of the passed instance to the mock.

        As usual you are going to read the partial mock warning: Object oriented programming is more or less about tackling complexity by dividing the complexity into separate, specific, SRPy objects. How does partial mock fit into this paradigm? Well, it just doesn't... Partial mock usually means that the complexity has been moved to a different method on the same object. In most cases, this is not the way you want to design your application.

        However, there are rare cases when partial mocks come handy: dealing with code you cannot change easily (3rd party interfaces, interim refactoring of legacy code etc.) However, I wouldn't use partial mocks for new, test-driven & well-designed code.

        Enough warnings about partial mocks, see an example how spiedInstance() works:

        
           Foo foo = mock(Foo.class, withSettings().spiedInstance(fooInstance));
        
           //Below does exactly the same:
           Foo foo = spy(fooInstance);
         
        About stubbing for a partial mock, as it is a spy it will always call the real method, unless you use the doReturn|Throw|Answer|CallRealMethod stubbing style. 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);
         
        Specified by:
        spiedInstance in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        spiedInstance - to spy on
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • defaultAnswer

        public MockSettings defaultAnswer​(Answer defaultAnswer)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Specifies default 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.

        
           Foo mock = mock(Foo.class, withSettings().defaultAnswer(RETURNS_SMART_NULLS));
           Foo mockTwo = mock(Foo.class, withSettings().defaultAnswer(new YourOwnAnswer()));
        
           //Below does exactly the same:
           Foo mockTwo = mock(Foo.class, new YourOwnAnswer());
         
        Specified by:
        defaultAnswer in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        defaultAnswer - default answer to be used by mock when not stubbed
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • stubOnly

        public MockSettingsImpl<T> stubOnly()
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        A stub-only mock does not record method invocations, thus saving memory but disallowing verification of invocations.

        Example:

        
         List stubOnly = mock(List.class, withSettings().stubOnly());
         
        Specified by:
        stubOnly in interface MockSettings
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • useConstructor

        public MockSettings useConstructor​(java.lang.Object... constructorArgs)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Mockito attempts to use constructor when creating instance of the mock. This is particularly useful for spying on abstract classes. See also Mockito.spy(Class).

        Example:

        
         //Robust API, via settings builder:
         OtherAbstract spy = mock(OtherAbstract.class, withSettings()
           .useConstructor().defaultAnswer(CALLS_REAL_METHODS));
        
         //Mocking an abstract class with constructor arguments
         SomeAbstract spy = mock(SomeAbstract.class, withSettings()
           .useConstructor("arg1", 123).defaultAnswer(CALLS_REAL_METHODS));
        
         //Mocking a non-static inner abstract class:
         InnerAbstract spy = mock(InnerAbstract.class, withSettings()
           .useConstructor().outerInstance(outerInstance).defaultAnswer(CALLS_REAL_METHODS));
         
        Specified by:
        useConstructor in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        constructorArgs - The arguments to pass to the constructor. Not passing any arguments means that a parameter-less constructor will be called
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • outerInstance

        public MockSettings outerInstance​(java.lang.Object outerClassInstance)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Makes it possible to mock non-static inner classes in conjunction with MockSettings.useConstructor(Object...).

        Example:

        
         InnerClass mock = mock(InnerClass.class, withSettings()
           .useConstructor().outerInstance(outerInstance).defaultAnswer(CALLS_REAL_METHODS));
         
        Specified by:
        outerInstance in interface MockSettings
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • withoutAnnotations

        public MockSettings withoutAnnotations()
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        By default, Mockito makes an attempt to preserve all annotation meta data on the mocked type and its methods to mirror the mocked type as closely as possible. If this is not desired, this option can be used to disable this behavior.
        Specified by:
        withoutAnnotations in interface MockSettings
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • verboseLogging

        public MockSettings verboseLogging()
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Enables real-time logging of method invocations on this mock. Can be used during test debugging in order to find wrong interactions with this mock.

        Invocations are logged as they happen to the standard output stream.

        Calling this method multiple times makes no difference.

        Example:

        
         List mockWithLogger = mock(List.class, withSettings().verboseLogging());
         
        Specified by:
        verboseLogging in interface MockSettings
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • invocationListeners

        public MockSettings invocationListeners​(InvocationListener... listeners)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Registers a listener for method invocations on this mock. The listener is notified every time a method on this mock is called.

        Multiple listeners may be added and they will be notified in the order they were supplied. Example:

        
          List mockWithListener = mock(List.class, withSettings().invocationListeners(new YourInvocationListener()));
         
        See the listener interface for more details.
        Specified by:
        invocationListeners in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        listeners - The invocation listeners to add. May not be null.
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • stubbingLookupListeners

        public MockSettings stubbingLookupListeners​(StubbingLookupListener... listeners)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Add stubbing lookup listener to the mock object. Multiple listeners may be added and they will be notified orderly. For use cases and more info see StubbingLookupListener. Example:
        
          List mockWithListener = mock(List.class, withSettings().stubbingLookupListeners(new YourStubbingLookupListener()));
         
        Specified by:
        stubbingLookupListeners in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        listeners - The stubbing lookup listeners to add. May not be null.
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • addListeners

        static <T> void addListeners​(T[] listeners,
                                     java.util.List<T> container,
                                     java.lang.String method)
      • verificationStartedListeners

        public MockSettings verificationStartedListeners​(VerificationStartedListener... listeners)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Registers a listener(s) that will be notified when user starts verification. See VerificationStartedListener on how such listener can be useful.

        When multiple listeners are added, they are notified in order they were supplied. There is no reason to supply multiple listeners but we wanted to keep the API simple and consistent with MockSettings.invocationListeners(InvocationListener...).

        Throws exception when any of the passed listeners is null or when the entire vararg array is null.

        Specified by:
        verificationStartedListeners in interface MockSettings
        Parameters:
        listeners - to be notified when user starts verification.
        Returns:
        settings instance so that you can fluently specify other settings
      • invocationListenersContainsType

        private boolean invocationListenersContainsType​(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)
      • hasInvocationListeners

        public boolean hasInvocationListeners()
      • build

        public <T2> MockCreationSettings<T2> build​(java.lang.Class<T2> typeToMock)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Creates immutable view of mock settings used later by Mockito. Framework integrators can use this method to create instances of creation settings and use them in advanced use cases, for example to create invocations with InvocationFactory, or to implement custom MockHandler. Since MockCreationSettings is NotExtensible, Mockito public API needs a creation method for this type.
        Specified by:
        build in interface MockSettings
        Type Parameters:
        T2 - type to mock
        Parameters:
        typeToMock - class to mock
        Returns:
        immutable view of mock settings
      • buildStatic

        public <T2> MockCreationSettings<T2> buildStatic​(java.lang.Class<T2> classToMock)
        Description copied from interface: MockSettings
        Creates immutable view of mock settings used later by Mockito, for use within a static mocking. Framework integrators can use this method to create instances of creation settings and use them in advanced use cases, for example to create invocations with InvocationFactory, or to implement custom MockHandler. Since MockCreationSettings is NotExtensible, Mockito public API needs a creation method for this type.
        Specified by:
        buildStatic in interface MockSettings
        Type Parameters:
        T2 - type to mock
        Parameters:
        classToMock - class to mock
        Returns:
        immutable view of mock settings
