Mockito-Java8 Build Status Maven Central

Mockito add-ons leveraging Java 8 and lambda expressions to make mocking even more compact.

Quick start

Lambda matcher

Allows for stubbing with matcher logic defined within a lambda expression. Useful when working with complex classes pass as an argument.

given(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(
    argLambda(c -> c.getMinimumRange() > 1000))).willReturn(4);

Argument Captor - Java 8 edition

Allows to use ArgumentCaptor in one line (here with AssertJ):

verify(ts).findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(
    assertArg(sc -> assertThat(sc.getMinimumRange()).isLessThan(2000)));

Mockito API methods available via interfaces (without static imports)

Allows to use methods from Mockito API without the need to use static imports. It is enough to make your test class implement WithBDDMockito interface to have all methods from Mockito API available directly (especially useful for Eclipse users).

class SpaceShipTest implements WithBDDMockito {
    //stub and verify as usual without static imports
}

Available interfaces: WithBDDMockito, WithMockito and WithAdditionalMatchers.

Configuration in a project

mockito-java8 jars are available in Maven Central.

Gradle

testCompile 'info.solidsoft.mockito:mockito-java8:2.5.0'

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>info.solidsoft.mockito</groupId>
    <artifactId>mockito-java8</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Mockito compatibility

Mockito-Java8 has two development lines. Versions 1.x (and 0.3.x) should be compatible with Mockito 1.10.12+ and 2.0.x-beta up to 2.0.21-beta. Versions 2.x supports the new matchers API and should be compatible with Mockito 2.0.22-beta and newer versions.

Documentation for versions 1.x can be found in a separate branch.

Provided add-ons

Lambda matcher

Allows to define matcher logic within a lambda expression. Useful when working with complex classes pass as an argument.

@Immutable
class ShipSearchCriteria {
    int minimumRange;
    int numberOfPhasers;
}

@Test
public void shouldAllowToUseLambdaInStubbing() {
    //given
    given(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(
        argLambda(c -> c.getMinimumRange() > 1000))).willReturn(4);
    //expect
    assertThat(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(new ShipSearchCriteria(1500, 2)))
        .isEqualTo(4);
    //expect
    assertThat(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(new ShipSearchCriteria(700, 2)))
        .isEqualTo(0);
}

In comparison the same logic implemented with a custom Answer in Java 7:

@Test
public void stubbingWithCustomAnswerShouldBeLonger() {  //old way
    //given
    given(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(any())).willAnswer(new Answer<Integer>() {
        @Override
        public Integer answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) throws Throwable {
            Object[] args = invocation.getArguments();
            ShipSearchCriteria criteria = (ShipSearchCriteria) args[0];
            if (criteria.getMinimumRange() > 1000) {
                return 4;
            } else {
                return 0;
            }
        }
    });
    //expect
    assertThat(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(new ShipSearchCriteria(1500, 2)))
        .isEqualTo(4);
    //expect
    assertThat(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(new ShipSearchCriteria(700, 2)))
        .isEqualTo(0);
}

Even Java 8 and less readable constructions don't help too much:

@Test
public void stubbingWithCustomAnswerShouldBeLongerEvenAsLambda() {  //old way
    //given
    given(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(any())).willAnswer(invocation -> {
        ShipSearchCriteria criteria = (ShipSearchCriteria) invocation.getArguments()[0];
        return criteria.getMinimumRange() > 1000 ? 4 : 0;
    });
    //expect
    assertThat(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(new ShipSearchCriteria(1500, 2)))
        .isEqualTo(4);
    //expect
    assertThat(ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(new ShipSearchCriteria(700, 2)))
        .isEqualTo(0);
}

Argument Captor - Java 8 edition

Allows to use ArgumentCaptor in one line:

@Test
public void shouldAllowToUseAssertionInLambda() {
    //when
    ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(searchCriteria);
    //then
    verify(ts).findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(
        assertArg(sc -> assertThat(sc.getMinimumRange()).isLessThan(2000)));
}

In comparison to 3 lines in the classic way:

@Test
public void shouldAllowToUseArgumentCaptorInClassicWay() {  //old way
    //when
    ts.findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(searchCriteria);
    //then
    ArgumentCaptor<ShipSearchCriteria> captor = 
        ArgumentCaptor.forClass(ShipSearchCriteria.class);
    verify(ts).findNumberOfShipsInRangeByCriteria(captor.capture());
    assertThat(captor.getValue().getMinimumRange()).isLessThan(2000);
}

Mockito API methods available via interfaces (without static imports)

Allows to use methods from Mockito API without the need to use static imports. It is enough to make your test class implement WithBDDMockito interface to have all methods from stubbing/mockito Mockito API available directly.

//no need to use static imports!

public class SpaceShipTest implements WithBDDMockito {

    @Test
    public void shouldVerifyMethodExecution() {
        //given
        TacticalStation tsSpy = spy(TacticalStation.class);
        willDoNothing().given(tsSpy).fireTorpedo(2);
        //when
        tsSpy.fireTorpedo(2);
        tsSpy.fireTorpedo(2);
        //then
        then(tsSpy).should(times(2)).fireTorpedo(2);
    }
}

The same code would work fine with a bunch of static imports. Of course they can be hidden in IDE and usually do not disturb much. Nevertheless to be able to write just a method name (e.g. mock(TacticalStation.class)) without a class is it required to press ALT-ENTER (in IntelliJ IDEA) to add each static import on the first usage of a given method in a test class. The situation is even worse in Eclipse where it is required to earlier add BDDMockito to "Favorites" in "Content Assist" to make it suggested by IDE.

Mockito methods are provided by 3 base interfaces, being an entry point for given set of methods:

Rationale

Mockito-Java8 is a side effect of my short presentation Java 8 brings power to testing! which I gave at GeeCON TDD 2015 and DevConf.cz 2015. In my speech, using 4 examples, I showed how Java 8 - namely lambda expressions - can simplify testing tools.

Limitations

Unfortunately there is a set of nice Java 8 related features which cannot be implemented without a non backward compatible changes in Mockito core and therefore cannot be implemented as an add-on. A good news is that Mockito 3.0 is planned to require Java 8 making it all possible.

Java 9 compatibility

The project is automatically tested with Java 9 (and Java 10) in the CI environment. At least the base scenarios should work with Java 9. Feel free to report an issue if you encounter any mockito-java8 specific problem.

The project's JAR artifact contains an Automatic-Module-Name manifest attribute. It's value - info.solidsoft.mockito.mockito-java8 - is used as the name of the automatic module defined by that JAR file when it is placed on the Java 9 module path. This allows to explicitly require mockito-java8 in other projects.

The mockito-java8 dependencies itself will be declared explicitly once available in required projects.
