Let's say I have the following class:
class MyClass {
public MyClass(){
}
public void hello() {
System.out.println("hello");
}
}
and I want to test 'hello' method:
#Test
public void testHello() {
MyClass mc = new MyClass();
mc.hello();
}
Now, I want to spy System.out.println and make sure that this method was called with "hello" as argument. How do I do it?
System.out is actually an instance of PrintStream, so my approach would be to create a mock of this class and direct output to that using the System.setOut method:
PrintStream outMock = Mockito.mock(PrintStream.class);
System.setOut(outMock);
System.out.println("Hello");
Mockito.verify(outMock).println("Hello");
Remember to restore the previous PrintStream instance after the test, preferably in a finally clause.
I have a method whose JUnit test case I have to write. It just calls the main processing method of the project and does nothing else. Also, the main processing method also has return type as void.
How shall I test such a "method1"?
public void method1() {
obj1.mainProcessingMethod():
}
Given a class:
public class A {
private Obj obj1;
public void method1() {
obj1.mainProcessingMethod();
}
public void setObj1(Obj obj1) {
this.obj1 = obj1;
}
}
In test for this class, the only thing to test would be verification whether method obj1.mainProcessingMethod() was invoked exactly once.
You can achieve this with Mockito.
import org.junit.Test;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
public class ATest {
private Obj obj1 = Mockito.mock(Obj.class);
private A a = new A();
#Test
public void testMethod1() {
a.setObj1(obj1);
a.method1();
Mockito.verify(obj1).mainProcessingMethod();
}
}
Here you create a mock object for class Obj, inject it into instance of A, and later use mock object to check which method invocations it recorded.
Inside the test you need to verify that the method mainProcessingMethod(): is called on the object obj1.
you can use something like
Mockito.verify(yourMockObject);
I’m using Mockito 1.9.5. How do I mock what is coming back from a protected method? I have this protected method …
protected JSONObject myMethod(final String param1, final String param2)
{
…
}
However, when I attempt to do this in JUnit:
final MyService mymock = Mockito.mock(MyService.class, Mockito.CALLS_REAL_METHODS);
final String pararm1 = “param1”;
Mockito.doReturn(myData).when(mymock).myMethod(param1, param2);
On the last line, I get a compilation error “The method ‘myMethod’ is not visible.” How do I use Mockito to mock protected methods? I’m open to upgrading my version if that’s the answer.
This is not an issue with Mockito, but with plain old java. From where you are calling the method, you don't have visibility. That is why it is a compile-time issue instead of a run-time issue.
A couple options:
declare your test in the same package as the mocked class
change the visibilty of the method if you can
create a local (inner) class that extends the mocked class, then mock this local class. Since the class would be local, you would have visibility to the method.
Responding to the request for a code sample of option 3 from John B's answer:
public class MyClass {
protected String protectedMethod() {
return "Can't touch this";
}
public String publicMethod() {
return protectedMethod();
}
}
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class MyClassTest {
class MyClassMock extends MyClass {
#Override
public String protectedMethod() {
return "You can see me now!";
}
}
#Mock
MyClassMock myClass = mock(MyClassMock.class);
#Test
public void myClassPublicMethodTest() {
when(myClass.publicMethod()).thenCallRealMethod();
when(myClass.protectedMethod()).thenReturn("jk!");
}
}
You can use Spring's ReflectionTestUtils to use your class as it is and without needing of change it just for tests or wrap it in another class.
public class MyService {
protected JSONObject myProtectedMethod(final String param1, final String param2) {
return new JSONObject();
}
public JSONObject myPublicMethod(final String param1) {
return new JSONObject();
}
}
And then in Test
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class MyServiceTest {
#Mock
private MyService myService;
#Before
public void setUp() {
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
when(myService.myPublicMethod(anyString())).thenReturn(mock(JSONObject.class));
when(ReflectionTestUtils.invokeMethod(myService, "myProtectedMethod", anyString(), anyString())).thenReturn(mock(JSONObject.class));
}
}
Something like following worked for me, using doReturn() and Junit5's ReflectionSupport.
[Note: I tested on Mockito 3.12.4]
ReflectionSupport.invokeMethod(
mymock.getClass()
// .getSuperclass() // Uncomment this, if the protected method defined in the parent class.
.getDeclaredMethod("myMethod", String.class, String.class),
doReturn(myData).when(mymock),
param1,
param2);
John B is right, this is because the method you're trying to test is protected, it's not a problem with Mockito.
Another option on top of the ones he has listed would be to use reflection to gain access to the method. This will allow you to avoid changing the method you are testing, and avoid changing the pattern you use to write tests, and where you store these tests. I've had to do this myself for some tests where I was not allowed to change the existing code base which included a large number of private methods that needed to be unit tested.
These links explain Reflection and how to use it very well, so I will link to them rather than copy:

How to test a class that has private methods, fields, or inner classes
WhiteBox.invokeMethod() can be handy.
public class Test extend TargetClass{
#Override
protected Object method(...) {
return [ValueYouWant];
}
}
In Spring, you can set it high high-priority like this:
#TestConfiguration
public class Config {
#Profile({"..."})
#Bean("...")
#Primary // <------ high-priority
public TargetClass TargetClass(){
return new TargetClass() {
#Override
protected WPayResponse validate(...) {
return null;
}
};
}
}
It is the same to override the origin bean.
I am writing JUnit test to verify some methods.
I am creating an object within the test class.
Constructor calls to to a static method on a different class.
The returning object should be a mocked one.
E.g.:
public class Test {
private Red r;
#Before
public setUp() {
Shape shape = new Shape();
}
}
public class Shape {
String t;
Shape() {
Red b = Box.getBoxes();
t = b.getThis();
}
}
public class Box {
static Red r;
public static Red getReds() {
return r;
}
}
How can I do this?
Here is the code to mock this functionality using PowerMockito API.
1.To get Red object as a mocked one
PowerMockito.mockStatic(Box.class);
Second mockedRed= PowerMockito.mock(Red.class);
PowerMockito.when( Box.class).getReds().thenReturn(mockedRed);
You need to use Powermockito runner and need to add required test classes (comma separated ) which are required to be mocked by powermock API .
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest({Box.class,Red.class})
class Test{
// your testing code
}
I am using PowerMocking for JUNIT and Iam new to PowerMock.
I want to mock one class which is non static.
The class scenario goes as follows.
public class Export extends MyUtil implements ExportFormatting<DeptSummaryByDCDTO, LmReportsInputDTO>{
public String createPDF(List<DeptSummaryByDCDTO> summaryDtoList, LmReportsInputDTO inputDto){
}
public String createPDF(Map<String, DeptSummaryByDCDTO> paramMap,
LmReportsInputDTO paramK) {
}
}
The calling class is as follows.
public static Response getMultiplePackSku{
filePath = new Export(inputDto).createPDF(resultList,null);
}
The Question is,
I am trying to test the above class using powermock.
Can anybody tell how to mock the line filePath.....
You need to first mock the constructor and return an Export mock. On the returned mock you need to record the call to createPDF. The tricky part is the constructor mocking. I'll give you an example, hopefully you'll get all of it:
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) // This annotation is for using PowerMock
#PrepareForTest(Export.class) // This annotation is for mocking the Export constructor
public class MyTests {
private mockExport;
#Before
public void setUp () {
// Create the mock
mockExport = PowerMock.createMock(Export.class)
}
#Test
public void testWithConstructor() {
SomeDtoClass inputDto = PowerMock.createMock(SomeDtoClass.class);
PowerMock.expectNew(Export.class, inputDto).andReturn(mockExport);
PowerMock.replay(mockExport, Export.class);
expect(mockExport.createPDF(resultList, null);
// Run the tested method.
}
}
