Why Mockito @SPY and @mock doesn't work together ?

SpyAndMockFailTest

package com.bla.web.controller;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.Spy;
import org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner;

import com.bla.web.dto.FamilyAndItems;
import com.bla.web.service.FamilyServiceImpl;

import static org.mockito.BDDMockito.given;
import static org.mockito.Matchers.anyString;

import static org.fest.assertions.Assertions.assertThat;

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class SpyAndMockFailTest {

    @Mock
    FamilyServiceImpl    familyService;

    @Spy
    FamilyController familyController = new FamilyController(familyService);

    @Test
    public void shouldGetFamilyAndItems() {
        // given
        given(familyService.getFamilyAndItems(anyString())).willReturn(null);
        // when
        FamilyAndItems familyAndItems = familyController.getFamilyAndItems("id");
        // then
        assertThat(familyAndItems).isEqualTo(null);
    }

}

Does it work if you manually spy familyController like this:

@before
public void setup() {
familyController = Mockito.spy(new FamilyController(familyService));
}

Yes of course. I just want to understand why this does not work using @nnotations ;-) Thanks, Cyril Lakech 0622793199 Le 11 avril 2012 10:38, Frdric Menou < [email protected]

This is probably a matter of fields ordering in compiled class ; I've observed subtle changes on that topic since jdk7

Oh really... sh**! Tks btw

You can use Annotations together introducing @Injectmocks (see my fork : https://gist.github.com/2358140)

documentation of @Injectmocks and the way it injects @Mocks into @SPY objets or not-mockito objects http://docs.mockito.googlecode.com/hg/1.9.0/org/mockito/InjectMocks.html

Sounds great, Thank you ! I didn't know I can use those 2 annotations on the same object. Regards, Cyril Lakech 2012/4/11 Ludovic Meurillon < [email protected]

Good to know indeed
