Stubbing defaults in Mockito

[Alex]

Hi,

How can I stub a method such that when given a value I'm not
expecting, it returns a default value? Looking at the documentation it
looks like you can change the default behaviour of all the methods on
a mock, but not those on a particular method. This seems like it would
be a pretty common requirement so I'm wondering if I'm missing
something.

Here's an example of what I'm looking to do:

Map<String, String> map = mock(Map.class);
when(map.get("abcd")).thenReturn("defg");
when(map.get("defg")).thenReturn("ghij");
when(map.get(anyString())).thenReturn("I don't know that string");

Also if possible, I'd like to be able to throw exceptions:

Map<String, String> map = mock(Map.class);
when(map.get("abcd")).thenReturn("defg");
when(map.get("defg")).thenReturn("ghij");
when(map.get(anyString())).thenThrow(new
IllegalArgumentException("I don't know that string"));

Thanks,

Alex

I haven't really verified this, but wouldn't it be enough to just reverse the order of the stubbing?

   Map<String, String> map = mock(Map.class);

   when(map.get(anyString())).thenReturn("I don't know that string");
   when(map.get("abcd")).thenReturn("defg");
   when(map.get("defg")).thenReturn("ghij");

Yes.. that does work for the first example, but not in the thenThrow
example.

Map<String, String> map = mock(Map.class);

when(map.get(anyString())).thenThrow(new
IllegalArgumentException("I don't know that string"));

when(map.get("abcd")).thenReturn("defg");
when(map.get("defg")).thenReturn("ghij");

When creating the second stub, the IllegalArgumentException from the
anyString() stub is thrown.

I this case, you have to use doReturn() syntax for stubbing. Sorry :)
