How can I ignore method calls during initialisation?

[Dieter Mai]

Hallo 

I'm trying mockito and i like it.

but i have some problems. here is my first one

i am writing tests for a Class that needs to be initalized (but not always in the same whay). during this initialization methods of my mocks are called. this calles i would like to ignore in later verify(...) calles.

example:

public void test_myTestMethod()

{

    // initializastion

    testedClassInstance.init(); // <-- init will call myMock.foo()

    // testedMethode

    testedClassInstance.myMethod(); // <-- will call myMock.foo() too

    // verification

    verify( myMock).foo(); // this will fail because foo() was called twice

}

i would like to reset the call counter for myMock.foo() but i don't know how. do i need to call myMock.reset() in this case?

Well, the correct syntax would really be Mockito.reset(myMock), but yes, this is an option.

Personally, I would rather use something like this instead:

  verify(myMock, times(2)).foo();

Of course, alternatively, maybe this is an opportunity to look into refactoring your code. Often, technical issues with Mockito show that the production code was in need of refactoring.
