stubbing a private field of mocked object

[Murali]

Hi,

I have a class A as follows

public class A{

@Inject
private B b;

public String doStuff(){
//Do some stuff, which utlizes b
}

}

I know how to mock A and B. I am not clear how to strub A.b with my
mock B. Can somebody please help me?

Thanks in advance.

Sure,

I would do either of:
- make the 'b' field package-protected
- or add a setter for the 'b' field
so that I can set it from the test...

No need for any mocking.

Cheers,

To add to Szcezpan's list, you could also:

- Add a constructor that takes 'b'

- Inject 'b' yourself via reflection.

I generally use the constructor option, as it feels most natural to me.

I actually posted on this predicament a couple months ago:

You can also use EasyGloss (https://easygloss.dev.java.net). EasyGloss
can inject private fields for you.

Though you might need to extend it a bit to understand the @Inject
Annotation. It might only know @EJB, but it should be no problem to
add @Inject as well.
