Annotation Type MockStrict
-
@Target(FIELD) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented @Inherited public @interface MockStrict
This annotation can be placed on those fields in your test class that should be mocked in a strict manner (i.e. the order of method calls are checked). This eliminates the need to setup and tear-down mocks manually which minimizes repetitive test code and makes the test more readable. In order for PowerMock to control the life-cycle of the mocks you must supply thePowerMockListener
annotation to the class-level of the test case. For example when using the EasyMock API:@PowerMockListener(EasyMockAnnotationEnabler.class) public class PersonServiceTest { @MockStrict private PersonDao personDaoMock; private PersonService classUnderTest; @Before public void setUp() { classUnderTest = new PersonService(personDaoMock); } ... }
Note that you can also create partial mocks by using the annotation. Let's say that the PersonService has a method called "getPerson" and another method called "savePerson" and these are the only two methods that you'd like to mock. Rewriting the previous example to accommodate this will give us the following test:
@PowerMockListener(EasyMockAnnotationEnabler.class) public class PersonServiceTest { @MockStrict({"getPerson", "savePerson"}) private PersonDao personDaoMock; private PersonService classUnderTest; @Before public void setUp() { classUnderTest = new PersonService(personDaoMock); } ... }
