I get this weird error when using a thenReturn.

Error:
Cannot invoke thenReturn(boolean) on the primitive type boolean

Line that causes this compiler error:
when(mockMyClass.myMethod(anyString()).thenReturn(true));

The method signature is:
boolean myMethod (String param);

Would anyone know the reason?

Thanks,
Twinkie

you got your parentheses wrong:

when(mockMyClass.myMethod(anyString())).thenReturn(true);

hth,

jordi

Hi,

Could you make sure the language level is at least 1.5+ in your IDE.
