Server side mock of Work Items with Mockito


Martin Wassermann (13864144) | asked Jan 19 '15, 9:11 a.m.

 I want to write JUnit Tests for my Follow-Up Action. Therefor I want to mock all necessary Artifacts with Mockito. 

But if I try to Mock the class IWorkItem.class
	         IWorkItem workItem = mock(IWorkItem.class);
I receive a NullPointerException. Did somebody know how to mock in a server plugin the work item with Mockito?  

Thanks and regards
Martin

 Mocking and stubbing are the cornerstones of having quick and simple unit tests. Mocks are useful if you have a dependency on an external system, file reading takes too long, the database connection is unreliable, or if you don’t want to send an email after every test.

This answer is pointless, does not belong here and is likely only the alibi answer that will soon be made to be spam linked to some obscure web page and be deleted as spam.

Hello


What about mocking RTC service methods, like: getService(ServiceName.class)? Did anyone try it and can share some examples?

Daniel, if you have a question to ask, please submit it as a new question rather than appending it to a dormant 6+ year old one.

Thanks,
David

Hi Martin,
I do not know the exact reason to this but mockito is not completely aware of RTC Nature.
I also faced this problem but after digging a bit I figured out that for some of the RTC objects mocking doesn't work without starting the team platform. So add
TeamPlatform.startup(); 
	
	
before
IWorkItem workItem = mock(IWorkItem.class)

and then it starts working as expected.

What is line 62 of your test case? It looks like the Utils class is missing. Is the com.ibm.team.workitem.common in the features for the launcher for your test?  Is it imported in the manifest.mf for the test package?

Here's a sample mock of a work item:
private IWorkItem aWorkItem(Identifier<IState> state, Identifier<IResolution> resolution, IApprovalDescriptor ... approvalDescriptors) throws Exception {
IWorkItem workItem= mock(IWorkItem.class);
when(workItem.getState2()).thenReturn(state);
when(workItem.getResolution2()).thenReturn(resolution);

IApprovals approvals= mock(IApprovals.class);
when(approvals.getDescriptors()).thenReturn(approvalDescriptors != null ? Arrays.asList(approvalDescriptors) : null);
when(workItem.getApprovals()).thenReturn(approvals);

return workItem;
}
