Using mockito to mock classes initialized within methods

[Sutapa Dey]

Hi All,

I am a newbie in unit testing with JUnit and started with Mockito and
found it very useful.

I was curious to know if it is possible to mock classes initialized
with the method I am writing the junit for. For example as below,
method toTest()
{

ClassA newA = new ClassA(); //Can I mock this when writing junit for
toTest method
newA.someMethod();


}

Regards,
Sutapa

Hi.
If you can't refactor such code take a look at powermock and jmockit.

Oh yeah, thx Tomek; the explanation of David Wallace is first class.

Maybe we should put it in the wiki :P

I would really consider this. Mocking "new" is a recurring subject.

[Szczepan Faber]

We can do it at some point but I don't think it will ever top the priority list because:

-powermockito already does it

-there's an easy workaround, e.g. a factory, which would be healthy for the design anyway.

Cheers!

Szczepan, I think you misunderstood. I wasn't asking for enhancing
Mockito with some new features. I was suggesting to enhance the
documentation on how to deal with "new" (and such) in Mockito way.

Ufff....

Thanks... :)

[David Wallace]

Thanks Brice, nice of you to say.  But let’s correct the error in it first.  There’s one point in there where I use when ... thenReturn on a spy; this should of course be doReturn ...

 

Shall I make this into a wiki page?

[Brice Dutheil]

In my opinion yes :)
