mockito mock a constructor with parameter
- by Shengjie
I have a class as below:
public class A {
public A(String test) {
bla bla bla
}
public String check() {
bla bla bla
}
}
The logic in the constructor A(String test) and check() are the things I am trying to mock. I want any calls like: new A($$$any string$$$).check() returns a dummy string "test".
I tried:
A a = mock(A.class);
when(a.check()).thenReturn("test");
String test = a.check(); // to this point, everything works. test shows as "tests"
whenNew(A.class).withArguments(Matchers.anyString()).thenReturn(rk);
// also tried:
//whenNew(A.class).withParameterTypes(String.class).withArguments(Matchers.anyString()).thenReturn(rk);
new A("random string").check(); // this doesn't work
But it doesn't seem to be working. new A($$$any string$$$).check() is still going through the constructor logic instead of fetch the mocked object of A.
