Mock with Mockito return a InvocationTargetException - unit-testing

I'm writing some unit test and I stumble accross this strange "bug" which prevent me from running my unit test.
When I run the "when(...).thenReturn(...)", I receive a InvocationTargetException. Then strange things is that when I debug, it goes into the real object and crash on a null member. When I debug other "when", it goes in a function called "Intercept" which prevent to go in the real code... I don't understand what is different with this object and how to prevent this weird behavior.
Here is my unit test:
#Test
public void getSyncStatusShouldReturnValueFromDiskWhenNotRunning() throws IOException {
//Arrange
when(updater.isDone()).thenReturn(true);
when(brandSyncUpdater.isDone()).thenReturn(true); //This is where it throw error
when(stationSyncUpdater.isDone()).thenReturn(true);
//Act
//Assert
}
Here is my setUp() and member section of my unit class test
private Updater updater;
private BrandSyncUpdater brandSyncUpdater;
private StationSyncUpdater stationSyncUpdater;
#Before
public void setUp() {
updater = mock(Updater.class);
brandSyncUpdater = mock(BrandSyncUpdater.class);
stationSyncUpdater = mock(StationSyncUpdater.class);
}
I don't know if it's related but the BrandSyncUpdater and StationSyncUpdater both have a parent called SyncUpdater where the isDone() function is located.
EDIT
Hierarchy of class
Updater is a class on its own
BrandSyncUpdater and StationSyncUpdater are extending SyncUpdater
Updater isDone() signature and code:
public boolean isDone() {
return states.isEmpty();
}
SyncUpdater isDone() signature and code:
public boolean isDone() {
return currentStates.isEmpty();
}
EDIT 2
Here is the stack traces of the error in the console. You'll notice that the error here is a "NullPointerException" because it try to use the variable currentStates. But when debugging, the error thrown by mockito is InvocationTargetException.
java.lang.NullPointerException

I just found the problem by error trying something else.
My SyncUpdater class wasn't public (it was package). So when trying to use Reflection, it got stuck and throw this weird error.
Thanks for the help of people in the comments!

I was able to fix the same issue by adding the following code snippet to the test Class.
#ObjectFactory
public IObjectFactory getObjectFactory() {
return new PowerMockObjectFactory();
}

I also got this error. In my case i missed #RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) for my Class (i know it is silly mistake, but wasted few hours troubleshooting everything else :) ).
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
public class SimpleServiceUpgradeManagerTestNotUsed {
//Class content
}

I also met this kind of exception, the reason is I didn't initialize the class to which the method I mocked belongs.

I encountered the same problem with codes below
catch (final HttpStatusCodeException e)
After I remove the final before HttpStatusCodeException, the Junit test works fine.
And I just use Mockito, no PowerMock

ResourceBundle.getBundle returning actual object in spite of mockStatic and when() directing otherwise

I'm creating tests over existing classes. A number of them have a resource bundle defined as a private final field that's initialized when the object is created via new. I declare a mocked ResourceBundle, use PowerMock's mockStatic method to enable static mocking, and mock the getBundle method to return my mocked ResourceBundle. However, when the constructor runs the code to initialize the field, it simply creates the new resource bundle rather than using the mocked one. I feel like there's one little detail I've missed, but I don't know what it might be.
The reason all this is a problem is this: when I run the test locally, it creates the ResourceBundle object without issue. But when the test is run via our build software (UCBuild), it throws a "can't find resource" exception and the test, and therefore the build, fails.
When I run a test in debug and set a method breakpoint on the constructor, I can see that the "strings" object is created using an actual resource bundle, not the mocked one. I can't for the life of me figure out why.
I've tried declaring the field without initializing it, then using class.getDeclaredField() and Field.setAccesible() to set the resource bundle to point at my mocked one, but of course this just gets overwritten if I run code that re-initializes the field.
The WorkerTest class which tests Worker.java:
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest({FacesContext.class, SaveStatus.class, FacesMessage.class, ResourceBundle.class})
public class WorkerTest {
#Mock
private ResourceBundle mockRB;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
PowerMockito.mockStatic(ResourceBundle.class);
PowerMockito.when(ResourceBundle.getBundle(anyString())).thenReturn(mockRB);
PowerMockito.when(mockRB.getString(anyString())).thenReturn("tst");
sut = new Worker(); // Breakpoint here to verify mockRB exists
}
...some tests
}
Worker.java:
#Named
#ApplicationScoped
public class Worker implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 4075799125164038417L;
private final ResourceBundle strings = ResourceBundle
.getBundle("com.resources.strings");
public Worker() { //method breakpoint here
}
Thanks in advance
Found the problem. Adding Worker.class to the #PrepareForTest annotation line and everything worked fine.

Hystrix fallbackMethod will not be called in unit test?

I am starting to use Hystrix on my application to deal with data coming from external services. Some main points in my code:
#HystrixCommand(fallbackMethod = "getImagesFallback")
public ImageResultResource getImages(String url)
{
ResponseEntity<ResultResource> result = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, new HttpEntity<>(getRequestHeaders()), ResultResource.class);
return result.getBody().getImageResultResource();
}
public ImageResultResource getImagesFallback(String url, Throwable e)
{
return new ImageResultResource();
}
In my unit test, I would like to test the fallback case, for example when the external service returns 404 Not Found response, so I mock my test like below:
doThrow(new HttpClientErrorException(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND))//
.when(Mockito.spy(new ImageConnector()))//
.getImages(myMockedURL)
But when I run the test, it seems that the fallbackMethod that I defined above was not called. It returned directly the 404 Not Found that I mocked for the external service while I expect that the fallbackMethod should be catched here and no 404 Not Found will be thrown here.
Can anyone give me hint how can I test my fallbackMethod in this case, or did I make something wrong with the configuration here? Thank you so much!
Your fallback method needs to have the same signature as the method with the HystrixCommand annotation or the same signature with the addition of a Throwable. Here is the relevant Javanica documentation
public ImageResultResource getImagesFallback(String url, Throwable e) {
return new ImageResultResource();
}
Hystrix custom fallback methods throws the exception having the instance of HystrixRuntimeException..
So, you need to catch this exception and use getMessage method of it to print it.

Mockito gives UnfinishedVerificationException when it seems OK

Mockito appears to be throwing an UnfinishedVerificationException when I think I've done everything correctly. Here's my partial test case:
HttpServletRequest req = mock(HttpServletRequest.class);
when(req.getHeader("Authorization")).thenReturn("foo");
HttpServletResponse res = mock(HttpServletResponse.class);
classUnderTest.doMethod(req, res); // Use the mock
verify(res, never());
verify(req).setAttribute(anyString(), anyObject());
And here's the partial class and method:
class ClassUnderTest extends AnotherClass {
#Override
public String doMethod(ServletRequest req, ServletRequest res) {
// etc.
return "someString";
}
}
Ignoring the fact that you should never mock interfaces you don't own, why is Mockito giving me the following message?
org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.UnfinishedVerificationException:
Missing method call for verify(mock) here:
-> at (redacted)
Example of correct verification:
verify(mock).doSomething()
Also, this error might show up because you verify either of: final/private/equals()/hashCode() methods.
Those methods *cannot* be stubbed/verified.

This might also be caused if you try to verify a method which expects primitive arguments with any():
For example, if our method has this signature:
method(long l, String s);
And you try to verify it like this, it will fail with aforementioned message:
verify(service).method(any(), anyString());
Change it to anyLong() and it will work:
verify(service).method(anyLong(), anyString());
I just came across this my self and it caused me a lot of confusion.
As David mentioned above Mockito reports errors in the next Mockito method call which may not be in the same test method. While the exception message does contain a reference to the actual place the error occurred I find having incorrect tests failing counter productive to the testing process. And the simpler the tests the more likely an error is to show up in the next test!
Here is an easy fix that will ensure errors appear in the correct test method:
#After
public void validate() {
validateMockitoUsage();
}
From the Mockito documentation here:
Mockito throws exceptions if you misuse it so that you know if your
tests are written correctly. The gotcha is that Mockito does the
validation next time you use the framework (e.g. next time you verify,
stub, call mock etc.). But even though the exception might be thrown
in the next test, the exception message contains a navigable stack
trace element with location of the defect. Hence you can click and
find the place where Mockito was misused.
Sometimes though, you might
want to validate the framework usage explicitly. For example, one of
the users wanted to put validateMockitoUsage() in his #After method so
that he knows immediately when he misused Mockito. Without it, he
would have known about it not sooner than next time he used the
framework. One more benefit of having validateMockitoUsage() in #After
is that jUnit runner will always fail in the test method with defect
whereas ordinary 'next-time' validation might fail the next test
method. But even though JUnit might report next test as red, don't
worry about it and just click at navigable stack trace element in the
exception message to instantly locate the place where you misused
mockito.
I was getting this same error due to using any() with a boolean parameter, when apparently it needed to be anyBoolean().
In my case, using kotlin was because the funcion to test was not declared as open.
The exception notices that no final/private/equals/hash methods can be used.
fun increment(){
i++
}
to
open fun increment(){
i++
}
With Junit 5, you can add the following to show more meaningful Mockito exceptions in the console
#AfterEach
public void validate() {
validateMockitoUsage()
}
Also see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22550055/8073652
I had similar exception with class MyRepository
org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.UnfinishedVerificationException:
Missing method call for verify(mock) here:
-> at MyRepository$$FastClassBySpringCGLIB$$de8d8358.invoke()
Example of correct verification:
verify(mock).doSomething()
The problem was resolved when I created interface for MyRepository, and mock interface, but not implementation.
It seems spring creates some CGLIB proxies and it leads to UnfinishedVerificationException exception.
For me the issue turned out to be a missing bean declaration in the test context xml. It was for a custom aspect class used by another class, an instance of which is a parameter to the constructor of the class which is the parameter to failing verify() call. So I added the bean declaration to the context xml and it worked fine after that.
Changed to #RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) and the issue went away.
Was using #RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) earlier.
Hope that helps someone..
I had the same issue, too, on the following stack:
Kotlin
Junit 4.13
Mockito 2.28.2 + Mockito-Inline 2.13.0
Robolectric 4.3.1
I tried to verify a lambda call:
#RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner::class)
class MainViewTest {
#get:Rule
val mockitoRule: MockitoRule = MockitoJUnit.rule()
#Mock private lateinit var mockClickCallback: () -> Unit
#Test
fun `should call clickCallback on the button click`() {
val activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MainActivity::class.java).create().get()
val viewUnderTest = MainView(activity)
viewUnderTest.setClickCallback(mockClickCallback)
viewUnderTest.button.performClick()
verify(mockClickCallback).invoke() // UnfinishedVerificationException
}
}
Then I found the issue on Github, it seems that the problem is in Robolectric. I used the following workaround:
#RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner::class)
class MainViewTest {
private interface UnitFunction: () -> Unit
#Test
fun `should call clickCallback on the button click`() {
val activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MainActivity::class.java).create().get()
val viewUnderTest = MainView(activity)
val mockClickCallback = mock(UnitFunction::class.java) as () -> Unit
viewUnderTest.setClickCallback(mockClickCallback)
viewUnderTest.button.performClick()
verify(mockClickCallback).invoke() // OK
}
}
Two answers above suggested using validateMockitoUsage() method after each test.
While this is correct I found that annotating your class with #ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
in Junit 5 give the same effect while adding some the nice Mockito functionalities. Also, it looks cleaner to me as well.
I guess Junit 4 #RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) will give a similar result but I didn't test it.
I had a similar problem, i found a way to solve this. Mock objects which you for verify haven't been reseted, so you should reset it .You can reset(mock) before your test case function, it may be helpful.
If you try to verify a private or package-private method with Mockito.verify you will get this error.
If you don't want to use PowerMockito you can set your method as protected and I advise you to add the #VisibleForTesting tag:
Before:
void doSomething() {
//Some behaviour
}
After :
#VisibleForTesting
protected void doSomething() {
//Some behaviour
}
I was having the same error
org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.UnfinishedVerificationException:
Missing method call for verify(mock) here:
-at com.xxx.MyTest.testRun_Should_xxx_When_yyy(MyTest.java:127)
Example of correct verification:
verify(mock).doSomething()
Also, this error might show up because you verify either of: final/private/equals()/hashCode() methods.
Those methods *cannot* be stubbed/verified.
Mocking methods declared on non-public parent classes is not supported.

...
In my case, the error was generated because I was using a PowerMockito.verifyStatic() before my Mockito.verify(...) call, then I had to move the PowerMockito.verifyStatic() to last line (or delete it).
From:
PowerMockito.verifyStatic();
Mockito.verify(myMock, Mockito.times(1)).myMockedMethod(anyString(), anyString(), anyString(), any(XXX.class), any(YYY.class), any(ZZZ.class));
To:
Mockito.verify(myMock, Mockito.times(1)).myMockedMethod(anyString(), anyString(), anyString(), any(XXX.class), any(YYY.class), any(ZZZ.class));
PowerMockito.verifyStatic();
Here is my grain of salt!
I discovered there is a conflict between Mockito and Hibernate Validation.
My solution is the separate my contract checks (#NotNull, #NotEmpty, etc) from the mockito tests. I also started using validateMockitoUsage() to ensure everything was run correctly.
The tests run individually well but while running integration test suite it fails with the UnfinishedVerificationException. The issue arises when we use verify() from mockito and have #EnableRetry.
Workaround for this is to use
public static <T> T unwrapAndVerify(T mock, VerificationMode mode) {
return ((T) Mockito.verify(AopTestUtils.getTargetObject(mock), mode));
}
as mentioned in Mocked Spring #Service that has #Retryable annotations on methods fails with UnfinishedVerificationException
I'm not sure where are your "classUnderTest" come from, but please keep sure it's mocked, not a real one.
I have the same issue for my test case below:
MyAgent rpc = new MyAgent("myNodeName");
...
rpc.doSomething();
...
PowerMockito.verifyPrivate(rpc).invoke("initPowerSwitch");
PowerMockito.verifyPrivate(rpc).invoke("init", "192.168.0.23", "b2", 3);
But it's disappeared for the following test case:
MyAgent rpc = PowerMockito.spy(new MyAgent("myNodeName"));
...
rpc.doSomething();
...
PowerMockito.verifyPrivate(rpc).invoke("initPowerSwitch");
PowerMockito.verifyPrivate(rpc).invoke("init", "192.168.0.23", "b2", 3);
Attention, the Object rpc should be mocked by PowerMockito.spy(...).
Faced same exception when used mockStatic method and called Mockito.verify multiple times, but passed interface instead of implementing class.
wrong code:
try (MockedStatic<Service> staticMock = Mockito.mockStatic(Service.class, Mockito.CALLS_REAL_METHODS)) {
staticMock.verify(() -> ServiceImpl.method()); // passed without errors
staticMock.verify(() -> ServiceImpl.method()); // throws UnfinishedVerificationException
}
fixed code:
try (MockedStatic<ServiceImpl> staticMock = Mockito.mockStatic(Service.class, Mockito.CALLS_REAL_METHODS)) {
staticMock.verify(() -> ServiceImpl.method());
staticMock.verify(() -> ServiceImpl.method());
}
It was my mistake obviosly, but UnfinishedVerificationException message was not helpfull

GWTP unit testing using Mockito

I am trying to use Mockito to test my GWTP application.
I am trying to Mock my View,Proxy,Placemanager and eventbus.
I tried using
#Mock
AbcView abc;
and Abcview abc = Mockito.mock(AbcView.class);
However every time the mocked view is instantiated as null.
How shall i address the same?
Once the view is mocked i will be able go on with testing my presenter class, as the constructor of presenter has following code:
getView().setUiHandlers( this );
so until view is instantiated properly null pointer exception is thrown.
Did you run your test using the MockitoJUnitRunner runner?
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class ExampleTest {
#Mock
private List list;
#Test
public void shouldDoSomething() {
list.add(100);
}
}
Besides #Sydney's response, you also need o make sure that AbcView.class is not final. I forget whether a final class results in a null or a runtime error, but that can be a cause for some sort of unexpected behavior -- one way or another, the mocking doesn't work. And if the class is not final, you need to make sure that any methods you stub on that mock are not final.

EJB repository testing with OpenEJB - how to rollback changes

I try to test my EJB-based repositories using OpenEJB. Every time new unit test is runned I'd like to have my DB in an "initial" state. After the test, all changes should be rolled back (no matter if test succeeded or not). How to accomplish it in a simple way? I tried using UserTransaction - beginning it when test is starting and rolling back changes when finishing (as you can see below). I don't know why, but with this code all changes in DB (which were done during unit test) are left after line rolling changes back has been executed.
As I wrote, I'd like to accomplish it in the simplest way, without any external DB schema and so on.
Thanks in advance for any hints!
Piotr
public class MyRepositoryTest {
private Context initialContext;
private UserTransaction tx;
private MyRepository repository; //class under the test
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
this.initialContext = OpenEjbContextFactory.getInitialContext();
this.repository = (MyRepository) initialContext.lookup(
"MyRepositoryLocal");
TransactionManager tm = (TransactionManager) initialContext.lookup(
"java:comp/TransactionManager");
tx = new CoreUserTransaction(tm);
tx.begin();
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
tx.rollback();
this.initialContext = null;
}
#Test
public void test() throws Exception {
// do some test stuff
}
}
There's an example called 'transaction-rollback' in the examples zip for 3.1.4.
Check that out as it has several ways to rollback in a unit test. One of the techniques includes a trick to get a new in memory database for each test.
