I'm trying to mock a singleton class (SessionDataManager) where I get an instance by calling the static getInstance() method but all attempts seem to return null.
I've tried
@Mocked SessionDataManager sessionDataManager;
or
new MockUp<SessionDataManager>(){
@Mock
public SessionDataManager getInstance(Invocation invocation) {
return invocation.getInvokedInstance();
}
};
I get the same result = null;
Can anyone suggestion a solution?
Thanks
I would suggest having a look at the documentation, but here are two complete example tests:
public final class ExampleTest {
public static final class SessionDataManager {
private static final SessionDataManager instance = new SessionDataManager();
public static SessionDataManager getInstance() { return instance; }
public void doSomething() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("to do"); }
}
@Test
public void mockingASingleton(@Mocked SessionDataManager mockInstance) {
SessionDataManager singletonInstance = SessionDataManager.getInstance();
assertSame(mockInstance, singletonInstance);
singletonInstance.doSomething(); // mocked, won't throw
}
@Test
public void mockingASingletonWithAMockUp() {
new MockUp<SessionDataManager>() {
// no point in having a @Mock getInstance() here
@Mock void doSomething() { /* whatever */ }
};
SessionDataManager singletonInstance = SessionDataManager.getInstance();
singletonInstance.doSomething(); // redirects to the @Mock method, won't throw
}
}
Take a look at Expectations' class:
new Expectations() {
Singleton singleton;
{
Singleton.getInstance(); returns(singleton);
singleton.valueFromSingleton(); returns(1);
}
};
Entity entity = new Entity();
assertEquals(1, entity.valueFromEntity());
