Need help in writing test for logger.isDebugEnabled() - junit

Following is the update complete code:
public Info verify(final String accessTk) throws AuthenticationException {
final Info accessInfo = readAccessToken(accessTk);
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug(accessInfo);
}
verifyTkExpire(accessInfo);
return accessInfo;
}
I am not aware of the use of logger and thus trying to see a way to test it.

I'd recommend posting the whole method/function for clarity (each method/function should do only one or so things in order to improve test-ability with unit tests); based on what you gave, maybe do something like:
/**
* Tests tryDebug
*/
#Test
public void tryDebugTest() {
logger testLogger= new logger() //or however you would initialize logger
Info testInfo= new Info(someInfo); //same type as accessInfo
Info expected= new Info(expectedInfo); //expected result from debugging the test info
logger.enableDebug;
logger.debug(testInfo); //debugs testInfo
assertEquals(expected, testInfo);
//if 'Info' is an array use assertArrayEquals(expected, testInfo);
//if 'Info' is a class, use something like this for each of it's elements:
//assertEquals(expected.getVariable, testInfo.getVariable);
}

How to make a valid test using the mockito library?

The context
I have a simple method that I'm testing using the mockito library.
The problem
I have a error:
"[MockitoHint] ReceiveServiceTest.testGetFileDto (see javadoc for MockitoHint):
[MockitoHint] 1. Unused... -> at .ReceiveServiceTest.testGetFileDto(ReceiveServiceTest.java:46)
[MockitoHint] ...args ok? -> at ReceiveService.getFileDto(ReceiveService.java:28)
I dont understand way.
The code
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class ReceiveServiceTest {
private List<File> filePaths = new ArrayList<>();
#InjectMocks
private ReceiveService receiveService;
#Mock
private FindFiles findfiles;
#Mock
private ReadByte readByte;
#Before
public void before() {
filePaths.add(new File("d://folder//test1_message_received"));
filePaths.add(new File("d://folder//test2_message_received"));
filePaths.add(new File("d://folder//test3_message_received"));
}
#Test
public void testGetFileDto() throws IOException {
// Given
byte[] resultByteArr = new byte[1028];
when(findfiles.getPathFiles()).thenReturn(filePaths);
when(readByte.readByteArrFromFile(new File("d://folder//test3_message_received"))).thenReturn(resultByteArr);
List<MessageDTO> result = receiveService.getFileDto();
//some assert
}
method
#Autowired
private FindFiles findFiles;
#Autowired
private ReadByte readByte;
public List<MessageDTO> getFileDto() throws IOException {
List<MessageDTO> fileDtos = new ArrayList<>();
for (File file : findFiles.getPathFiles()) {
fileDtos.add(new MessageDTO(Base64.getEncoder().encode(readByte.readByteArrFromFile(new File(file.getPath()))),
file.getName(), "zip", null));
}
return fileDtos;
}
I think mocks are not being initialized. Please initialize the mocks in the #Before method.
#Before
public void init() {
initMocks(this);
}
This should solve the problem I guess.
Here is solution for my problem. I added foreach loop. Now the mock works, but byte [] is different than what it should return.
// Given
byte[] mockByteArr = new byte [2048];
when(findfiles.getPathFiles()).thenReturn(filePaths);
for (File filePath : filePaths) {
when(readByte.readByteArrFromFile(new File(filePath.getPath()))).thenReturn(mockByteArr);
}
//When
List<MessageDTO> result = receiveService.getFileDto();
//Then
assertEquals(3, result.size());
assertEquals(mockByteArr, result.get(1).getContent());
Your problem is, that you create a new object in the following line:
when(readByte.readByteArrFromFile(new File("d://folder//test3_message_received"))).thenReturn(resultByteArr);
Mockito needs to know which real object is passed to the method so that it can return the appropriate thenReturn-value. So if you pass the actual reference into it, your code will work, but also only if you specify all the values which are listed. Otherwise you may get a NullPointerException.
By the way, calling new File(file.getPath()) seems redundant to me. You can just use file instead.
So with the following your code might work better:
when(readByte.readByteArrFromFile(filePaths.get(0)).thenReturn(resultByteArray);
but then you need to specify it for all entries.
Alternatively, use a Matcher instead:
when(readByte.readByteArrFromFile(ArgumentMatchers.any(File.class))).thenReturn(resultByteArr);
or specify the actual argument matching you require as matchers can be very powerful in that regard.
Previously the answer contained the following, which is still true, but not as concise as the answer above:
It's been a long time since I last used mocks (and I am even proud of it ;-)).
The message already states that one should consult the javadoc and there I found the following:
Those are hints - they not necessarily indicate real problems 100% of the time.
Nonetheless, I believe the problem is with the following statement:
when(readByte.readByteArrFromFile(new File("d://folder//test3_message_received"))).thenReturn(resultByteArr);
I think you need to specify a return for every entry in the filePaths or make the call more generic using Matchers.any() (or any other appropriate Matcher).

Unable to mock URL class using PowerMockito/Mockito

I am trying to use PowerMockito to mock the creation of the java.net.URL class in my code that I'm testing. Basically, I want to prevent the real HTTP request from occurring and instead 1) check the data when the request is made and 2) supply my own test data back on a mocked response. This is what I'm trying:
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest({ URL.class, MockedHttpConnection.class })
public class Test {
URL mockedURL = PowerMockito.mock(URL.class);
MockedHttpConnection mockedConnection = PowerMockito.mock(MockedHttpConnection.class);
...
PowerMockito.whenNew(URL.class).withParameterTypes(String.class).withArguments("MyURLString").thenReturn(mockedURL);
PowerMockito.when(mockedURL.openConnection()).thenReturn(mockedConnection);
...
}
The code that I want to test looks like this:
URL wlInvokeUrl = new URL(wlInvokeUrlString);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) wlInvokeUrl.openConnection();
Earlier in my test scenario I mock the wlInvokeUrlString to match "MyURLString". I've also tried using various other forms of the whenNew line, trying to inject the mock. No matter what I try, it never intercepts the constructor. All I want to do is "catch" the call to openConnection() and have it return my mocked HTTP connection instead of the real one.
I have mocked other classes ahead of this one in the same script and these are working as expected. Either I need a second pair of eyes (probably true) or there is something unique about the URL class. I did notice that if I use "whenNew(URL.class).withAnyArguments()" and change the "thenReturn" to "thenAnswer" I could get it to trigger. Only problem is I never get the URL call for my code. What I see is an invocation of the 3-argument constructor for URL.class with all nulls for the parameters. Could it be this class is from the Java runtime and is bootstrapped by the test runner? Any help is much appreciated.
It's a common mistake when use PowerMockito.whenNew.
Note that you must prepare the class creating the new instance of MyClass for test, not the MyClass itself. E.g. if the class doing new MyClass() is called X then you'd have to do #PrepareForTest(X.class) in order for whenNew to work
From Powermock wiki
So, you need a bit change your test and add to #PrepareForTesta class which create a new instance of URLlike:
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest({ URL.class, MockedHttpConnection.class , ConnectionUser.class})
public class URLTest {
public class URLTest {
private ConnectionUser connectionUser;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
connectionUser = new ConnectionUser();
}
#Test
public void testName() throws Exception {
URL mockedURL = PowerMockito.mock(URL.class);
MockedHttpConnection mockedConnection = PowerMockito.mock(MockedHttpConnection.class);
PowerMockito.whenNew(URL.class).withParameterTypes(String.class).withArguments("MyURLString").thenReturn(mockedURL);
PowerMockito.when(mockedURL.openConnection()).thenReturn(mockedConnection);
connectionUser.open();
assertEquals(mockedConnection, connectionUser.getConnection());
}
}
where:
public class ConnectionUser {
private String wlInvokeUrlString = "MyURLString";
private HttpURLConnection connection;
public void open() throws IOException {
URL wlInvokeUrl = new URL(wlInvokeUrlString);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) wlInvokeUrl.openConnection();
}
public HttpURLConnection getConnection() {
return connection;
}
}
I'm not sure the difference between .withParameterTypes(x) and .withArguments(x) but I believe you need to set it up as follows for your code to work. Give it a try and let me know if this doesn't help.
PowerMockito.when(mockedURL.openConnection()).thenReturn(mockedConnection);
PowerMockito.whenNew(URL.class).withArguments(Mockito.anyString()).thenReturn(mockedURL);
The problem is that the arguments of the real call are not matching with the expected in your mock.
PowerMockito.whenNew(URL.class).withParameterTypes(String.class).withArguments("MyURLString").thenReturn(mockedURL) will return mockedURL only the call is new URL("MyURLString").
If you change it to:
PowerMockito.whenNew( URL.class ).withParameterTypes( String.class )
.withArguments( org.mockito.Matchers.any( String.class ) ).thenReturn( mockedURL );
It will catch any string passed to the constructor URL(String) (even null) and return your mock.
When you tried
"whenNew(URL.class).withAnyArguments()" and change the "thenReturn" to
"thenAnswer" I could get it to trigger. Only problem is I never get
the URL call for my code. What I see is an invocation of the
3-argument constructor for URL.class with all nulls for the
parameters.
PowerMock will try to mock all constructors (org.powermock.api.mockito.internal.expectation.DelegatingToConstructorsOngoingStubbing.InvokeStubMethod at line 122) then it calls the first one (with 3 arguments) and mock its answer. But the subsequent calls will return the already mocked one because you told it to mock for any arguments. That's why you see just one call with null, null, null in your Answer.

Mockito/PowerMock when....then not being invoked?

When I execute the following test, the original object is being returned and not the mock, so the real method getLevelCriteriaForLevel(level) is being executed (I observed that with the debugger). Why is that so? I'm pretty sure that this already worked yesterday and I didn't change anything there.
I already tried
#PrepareForTest({LevelCriteria.class, LevelGenerator.class})
or used the MockitoJunitRunner as I did before, but this doesn't help either.
Here is the code (generateConcreteLevel is a private method. The expected exception is only thrown when I pass this data from the mock. Otherwise it's not thrown. The test fails because the exception is not thrown, because the test doesn't use the mock object but the real object):
public class LevelGenerator
{
public void createLevel(int level)
{
generateConcreteLevel(levelCriteria.getLevelCriteriaForLevel(level));
}
private void generateConcreteLevel(LevelCriterion levelCriterion)
{
int entryGroupCount = levelCriterion.getEntryGroupCount();
int exitGroupCount = levelCriterion.getExitGroupCount();
int exitsWhileEntries = levelCriterion.getExitsWhileEntries();
int maxGroupSize = levelCriterion.getMaxGroupSize();
List<Question> questions = levelCriterion.getQuestions();
int speed = levelCriterion.getSpeed();
Range blueItemsCount = levelCriterion.getBlueItemsCount();
Range brownItemsCount = levelCriterion.getBrownItemsCount();
Range greenItemsCount = levelCriterion.getGreenItemsCount();
Range redItemsCount = levelCriterion.getRedItemsCount();
Range whiteItemsCount = levelCriterion.getWhiteItemsCount();
Range timespanBetweenGroups = levelCriterion.getTimespanBetweenGroups();
float fractionOfCarAmountToLeave = levelCriterion.getFractionOfCarAmountToLeave();
float fractionOfMinimumItemsAmountInCarParkToStartExits = levelCriterion.getFractionOfMinimumItemsAmountInCarParkToStartExits();
checkItemsFitInEntryGroups(entryGroupCount, maxGroupSize, blueItemsCount, brownItemsCount, greenItemsCount, redItemsCount, whiteItemsCount);
}
private void checkItemsFitInEntryGroups(int entryGroupCount, int maxGroupSize, Range... ranges)
{
int totalRangeCount = 0;
for (Range range : ranges)
{
totalRangeCount += range.getMaximum();
}
if (totalRangeCount > entryGroupCount * maxGroupSize)
{
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Error in level criterion: Not enough entry groups for Items.");
}
}
}
and the test...
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
public class LevelGeneratorTest
{
#Mock
private LevelCriteria levelCriteriaMock;
#InjectMocks
private LevelGenerator levelGenerator;
#Test(expected=UnsupportedOperationException.class)
public void tooLessPositionsInEntryGroups()
{
LevelCriterion levelCriterion = new LevelCriterion.LevelCriterionBuilder()
.withBlueItemsCount(new Range(10, 10))
.withEntryGroupCount(3)
.withExitGroupCount(3)
.withMaxGroupSize(3)
.build();
when(levelCriteriaMock.getLevelCriteriaForLevel(anyInt())).thenReturn(levelCriterion);
levelGenerator.createLevel(0);
}
}
By the way: It's not an Eclipse problem, since a Maven build produces the same error.
I know that I can execute the private method with PowerMockito's Whitebox directly what I will do after refactoring, but the question is, why when...then is not working here.
Assuming your question is:
Why is the real method getLevelCriteriaForLevel(level) executed when I expect to have the mocked implementation?
I will try to demonstrate that everything works as expected fine if you reproduce it is a simple example (switch from your current workspace if you need to).
I do not have you LevelCriterion.LevelCriterionBuilder() so I simplified your test by just instantiating a LevelCriterion (empty object). This is not relevant because in my implementation I will always return an UnsupportedOperationException.
Here is how my LevelGenerator looks like. The UnsupportedOperationException is as simple as possible LevelGenerator#generateConcreteLevel(LevelCriterion).
If implemented like this:
public class LevelGenerator
{
LevelCriteria levelCriteria;
public void createLevel(int level)
{
generateConcreteLevel(levelCriteria.getLevelCriteriaForLevel(level));
}
private void generateConcreteLevel(LevelCriterion levelCriteriaForLevel)
{
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("xxx");
}
}
The test is green, using a #RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) on top of LevelGeneratorTest.
I did not used #PrepareForTest or PowerMockRunner. I have Mockito version 1.9.5.
I am sure that I have not used the real getLevelCriteriaForLevel(level) implementation, because it looks like this:
public class LevelCriteria {
public LevelCriterion getLevelCriteriaForLevel(int level) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Unexpected call");
}
}
If the real getLevelCriteriaForLevel(int) is excuted the test is red (because an IllegalStateException is thrown).
And the test is still green...
This works with pure-Mockito (version 1.9.5) approach.
You should remove all other mocking library (PowerMock, EasyMock...)
Are you sure that your static call of when(..).thenReturn(..) is the Mockito one?
Have you tried: Mockito.when(..).thenReturn(..)
I hope it helps.
PS: I have seen that you updated the question. It is a little bit unfair for me, but I am not going to update my answer once again.
I do not need the implementation detail of generateConcreteLevel(..) to illustrate that the when(..) call is working. Read my answer again. Try it in a separate workspace and you will see by yourself.
PS-2: I am using Eclipse too... Why should it be a problem? Eclipse is a great IDE.
I figured out what's wrong. Unfortunately you don't see the real problem in this question since I simplified the classes:
My real implementation of LevelGenerator got a parameterized constructor today. That's the reason why it worked yesterday but not anymore. Obviously there are mock injection problems with Mockito when not using a standard constructor.
Result: The when...then works as excpected.

How to test loop inside loop in mockito

Hi i have method insertOrUpdateProductsToDB(Product product) is used to perform insert operation in database using catalogService of Broadleaf ,catalog Service is doing all saving operation in db . My method is expected restClient product as a parameter.After passing the restClient product we are converting this product into Broadleafproduct by using ProductConversion Class.In product conversion only setting is happening for converting rest Product into broadleafproduct. Now my requirement is to test this method using mockito but when i tried to do add these two line at the end of my test method
verify(mainProduct).getAdditionalSkus().add(sku);
verify(mainProduct).setProductOptions(productOptionList);
Its failing.
when i debug the code there is for loop inside for loop in the method insertOrUpdateProductsToDB(Product product) and i find productOption = catalogService.saveProductOption(productOption); here productOption is coming null so please tell how to test loop inside loop and same happening for
for (Sku skuWithProductOptions : productConversion.createSkuWithProductOptions(product, mainProduct,productOptionList)) {
catalogService.saveSku(skuWithProductOptions);
}
this line in the same method .kindly also check my test case whether i am doing right or not .

I have a few remarks that probably won't answer your orignal question. But I hope they will guide you toward a better refactor of this code. Also the code sample you showed are not enough to point you at the exact issue ; it's an NPE in the test method so it should not be that difficult to track down.
That being said here's the point I'd like to raise
The test code is curiously crafted, and in my opinion this code are overusing Mockito. Overall this code looks way too complex to be correctly tested anyway. I don't think it was coded following TDD principle (TDD is really convenient when it comes to testing and designing the app)
You may want to follow the common guideline no more than 10 line of codes in a single method, this usually helps to separate concerns and identify simpler code / intents. These simpler code could be changed and tested more easily if designed correctly (without leaking concepts or variables). For example you may want to extract a method that saves a single Product and test only that one.
What's even more striking is that this code seems kinda procedural (even if inside objects). And doesn't really explain the intent in business words (ok it's about saving stuff in DB, but for which reason there's all this logic, this reason should appear in the method name).
The test and Mockito is weird, and the code should not iterate over the collection to stub then verify
for (Product pbsProduct : pbsResponse.getProducts().getProduct()) {
when(catalogService.createProduct(new ProductType("org.broadleafcommerce.core.catalog.domain.Product","Normal Product"))).thenReturn(mainProduct);
when(catalogService.createSku()).thenReturn(sku);
when(catalogService.saveProductOption(productOption)).thenReturn(productOption);
when(catalogService.saveSku(sku)).thenReturn(sku);
when(catalogService.saveProduct(mainProduct)).thenReturn(mainProduct);
when(catalogService.saveSku(sku)).thenReturn(sku);
getProductsServiceImpl.insertOrUpdateProductsToDB(pbsProduct);
verify(mainProduct,times(2)).setDefaultSku(sku);
verify(mainProduct).getAdditionalSkus().add(sku);
verify(mainProduct).setProductOptions(productOptionList);
break;
}
In pseudo code I would first try to extract the saving logic using the given/when/then BBDD keywords (they help to clarify what need to be tested in which scenario and context). Keep the fixture and assertions to a minimum, you would rather deal with multiple test method than multiple complex test methods.
#Test
public void ensure_product_is_saved_in_the_catalog() {
// given
Product a_simple_product = ProductBuilder.simpleProduct().build();
when(catalogService.doSomething(....))).thenReturn(mainProduct);
// when
productsService.saveProduct(product);
// then
verify(catalogService).doSomethingElseWith(mainProduct);
}
If assertion on product data is relevant in your test scenario, then write a test that actually test the data (using JUnit assertions, AssertJ, ...). Don't mock the Product !
And proceed gradually for each test, then refactor if need ed to keep the code manageable (extract a single method in another class if necessary, etc.)
You should definitely read the following books, they've helped a lot of programmers to get better code Clean Coder or Growing Object Oriented Software, Guided by Tests. This list is of course not exhaustive.
Hope that helps.

Suppress JOptionPane.showInputDialog in junit test

I am using the JOptionPane.showInputDialog call in my code.
When the junit tests run it pops up the window.
Is there a way to suppress the pop-up?
Wold mocking it help?
Please help me on this.
I know - this question is ancient. But maybe sometimes someone will have the same problem...
Remember: It's your code, isn't it? So you can easily refactor from
public boolean myMethod() {
String value = "NOTHING";
if(this.someCondition) {
value = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(...);
}
return "NOTHING".equals(value);
}
to
public boolean myMethod() {
String value = "NOTHING";
if(this.someCondition) {
value = getValueFromDialog();
}
return "NOTHING".equals(value);
}
protected getValueFromDialog() {
return JOptionPane.showInputDialog(...)
}
This done, you can write a test mocking away the actual invocation of JOptionPane (Example uses Mockito syntax)
#Test
public void test_myMethod() {
MyClass toTest = mock(MyClass.class);
//Call real method we want to test
when(toTest.myMethod()).doCallRealMethod();
//Mock away JOptionPane
when(toTest.getValueFromDialog()).thenReturn("HELLO JUNIT");
//Perform actual test code
assertFalse(toTest.myMethod());
}
All done - now add tests simulating all the funny stuff that might happen as a result of JOptionPane.showInputDialog() (returning null, returning unexpected values...) by simply adding test cases and different values for
when(toTest.getValueFromDialog()).thenReturn(...);
