testing equals() using Mockito ?

[Ashok Shanmugam]

How to test Model class equals() method. Getting following issue.

 <<< FAILURE! - in EmployeeTest

testEquals(EmployeeTest)  Time elapsed: <<< ERROR!

org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.UnfinishedVerificationException: 

Missing method call for verify(mock) here:

-> at EmployeeTest.testEquals(EmployeeTest.java:20)

Example of correct verification:

    verify(mock).doSomething()

Also, this error might show up because you verify either of: final/private/equals()/hashCode() methods.

Those methods *cannot* be stubbed/verified.

Mocking methods declared on non-public parent classes is not supported.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

private static Employee mockedEmployee;

private static Employee employee;

@BeforeClass

public static void setup() {

    mockedEmployee = mock(Employee.class);

    employee = new Employee("first", "last");

   when(mockedEmployee .getFirstName()).thenReturn(Employee.getFirstName());

}

@Test

public void testEquals() {

    Mockito.verify(mockedEmployee).equals(employee);

}
