Question

I am testing my Java code using EasyMock.

The piece of code that I want to mock looks like this:

requestInfo = mupClient.newEnqueueRequestCall().call(requestArgs);

The way I am mocking this is:

expect(mupClient.newEnqueueRequestCall()).andReturn(enqueueRequestCall);
final Capture<EnqueueRequestArgs> captureRequestArgs = 
                         new Capture<EnqueueRequestArgs>();
expect(mupClient.newEnqueueRequestCall().call(capture(captureRequestArgs))).
                         andThrow(new MUPCoralException("an exception"));

But requestInfo is always null. Even if I change the .andThrow() part to .andReturn(new RequestInfo()), it is still null.

I checked the other similar post but that did not work. Now was I able to comment on it and hence creating a new question.

ANSWER:
add all mock’d objects in replay! Example replay(mockObj1, mockObj2, ...)

Answer 1

Try this:

expect(mupClient.newEnqueueRequestCall()).andReturn(enqueueRequestCall);
final Capture<EnqueueRequestArgs> captureRequestArgs = 
                          new Capture<EnqueueRequestArgs>();
expect(enqueueRequestCall.call(capture(captureRequestArgs))).
                          andThrow(new MUPCoralException("an exception"));

The problem is that your enqueRequestCall should return requestInfo. mupClient will return enqueueRequestCall only after you call replay method from easymock.
