Question

I cant find an answer already on stackoverlow for this. This is the simplest example I can boil it down to.

I have a class which I want to mock and it places calls to this class


public class GetCustomerForUser extends PropertyAction<Customer>
....


PropertyAction:

public abstract class PropertyAction<R> extends AbstractProcessAction<R> implements
ValuedAction<R, R> {


The real calling code looks like this

Customer self = dispatcher.invokeTransactionless(actor, new GetCustomerForUser());

dispatcher is of type ActionDispatcher

In the calling mock

    protected void applyWhenClauses(ActionDispatcher dispatcher, Actor actor) throws ProcessException {
        when(dispatcher.invokeTransactionless(actor, (ProcessAction<Customer>) anyObject())).thenReturn(null);
        ....

dispatcher is of type ActionDispatcherMock

When I run the test I get

     org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.InvalidUseOfMatchersException: 
     Invalid use of argument matchers!
     2 matchers expected, 1 recorded.
     This exception may occur if matchers are combined with raw values:
         //incorrect:
         someMethod(anyObject(), "raw String");
     When using matchers, all arguments have to be provided by matchers.
     For example:
         //correct:
         someMethod(anyObject(), eq("String by matcher"));

     For more info see javadoc for Matchers class.

           (AbstractPrologInstanceMock.java:11)

I intend to have a when for each class that the dispatcher could invoke.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom about what I’m doing wrong here?

thanks for your time.

Answer 1

The error message indicates what the issue is: if you’re using any… any you can’t then have a not-any matcher:

 This exception may occur if matchers are combined with raw values:
     //incorrect:
     someMethod(anyObject(), "raw String");
 When using matchers, all arguments have to be provided by matchers.
 For example:
     //correct:
     someMethod(anyObject(), eq("String by matcher"));

See how you’re doing precisely what it says you can’t do? And how it says to correct it?
