Mockito provides the capability to a mock to throw exceptions, so exception handling can be tested. Take a look at the following code snippet.
//add the behavior to throw exception
doThrow(new Runtime Exception("divide operation not implemented"))
.when(calcService).add(10.0,20.0);
Here we’ve added an exception clause to a mock object. MathApplication makes use of call service using its add method and the mock throws a RuntimeException whenever calcService.add() method is invoked.
Example
Step 1 − Create an interface called CalculatorService to provide mathematical functions
File: CalculatorService.java
public interface CalculatorService {
public double add(double input1, double input2);
public double subtract(double input1, double input2);
public double multiply(double input1, double input2);
public double divide(double input1, double input2);
}
Step 2 − Create a JAVA class to represent MathApplication
File: MathApplication.java
public class MathApplication {
private CalculatorService calcService;
public void setCalculatorService(CalculatorService calcService){
this.calcService = calcService;
}
public double add(double input1, double input2){
return calcService.add(input1, input2);
}
public double subtract(double input1, double input2){
return calcService.subtract(input1, input2);
}
public double multiply(double input1, double input2){
return calcService.multiply(input1, input2);
}
public double divide(double input1, double input2){
return calcService.divide(input1, input2);
}
}
Step 3 − Test the MathApplication class
Let’s test the MathApplication class, by injecting in it a mock of calculatorService. Mock will be created by Mockito.
File: MathApplicationTester.java
import static org.mockito.Mockito.doThrow;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner;
// @RunWith attaches a runner with the test class to initialize the test data
@RunWith(MockitoRunner.class)
public class MathApplicationTester {
// @TestSubject annotation is used to identify class
which is going to use the mock object
@TestSubject
MathApplication mathApplication = new MathApplication();
//@Mock annotation is used to create the mock object to be injected
@Mock
CalculatorService calcService;
@Test(expected = RuntimeException.class)
public void testAdd(){
//add the behavior to throw exception
doThrow(new RuntimeException("Add operation not implemented"))
.when(calcService).add(10.0,20.0);
//test the add functionality
Assert.assertEquals(mathApplication.add(10.0, 20.0),30.0,0);
}
}
Step 4 − Execute test cases
Create a java class file named TestRunner in C:\> Mockito_WORKSPACE to execute Test case(s).
File: TestRunner.java
import org.junit.runner.JUnitCore;
import org.junit.runner.Result;
import org.junit.runner.notification.Failure;
public class TestRunner {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Result result = JUnitCore.runClasses(MathApplicationTester.class);
for (Failure failure : result.getFailures()) {
System.out.println(failure.toString());
}
System.out.println(result.wasSuccessful());
}
}
Step 5 − Verify the Result
Compile the classes using the javac compiler as follows −
C:\Mockito_WORKSPACE>javac CalculatorService.java MathApplication.
java MathApplicationTester.java TestRunner.java
Now run the Test Runner to see the result −
C:\Mockito_WORKSPACE>java TestRunner
Verify the output.
testAdd(MathApplicationTester): Add operation not implemented
false
