I have some static methods to mock using Mockito + PowerMock. Everything was correct until I tried to mock a static method which throws exception only (and do nothing else).
My test class looks like this:
top:
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({Secure.class, User.class, StringUtils.class})
body:
PowerMockito.mockStatic(Secure.class);
Mockito.when(Secure.getCurrentUser()).thenReturn(user);
PowerMockito.mockStatic(StringUtils.class);
Mockito.when(StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty("whatever")).thenReturn(true);
PowerMockito.mockStatic(User.class);
Mockito.when(User.findById(1L)).thenReturn(user); // exception !! ;(
boolean actualResult = service.changePassword();
and changePassword method is:
Long id = Secure.getCurrentUser().id;
boolean is = StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty("whatever");
User user = User.findById(1L);
// ...
The first 2 static calls works fine (if i comment out 3rd), but the last one ( User.findById(long id) ) throws exception while it is called in 'Mockito.when' method. This method looks like this:
public static <T extends JPABase> T findById(Object id) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Please annotate your JPA model with @javax.persistence.Entity annotation.");
}
My question is how can i mock this method to get result as I expect ? Thanks for any help.
EDIT:
Thanks for all replies. I found a solution. I was trying to mock a method findById which was not directly in User.class but in GenericModel.class which User extends. Now everything works perfectly.
