How to mock an interface default method Java8/Mockito2












1















I cannot mock a method defined as default in an interface. Can anyone help me here?



The interface has default method providing a logger.



import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public interface Loggable {

default Logger logger() {
return LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
}
}


It is used this way:



public class AppShowOff implements Loggable{

public void doMagic() {
logger().debug("It works");
System.out.println("Works");
}
}


now I would like to write a test proving that debug method has been called.



import static org.mockito.ArgumentMatchers.any;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.times;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.verify;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.slf4j.Logger;

public class AppShowOffTest {

@Test
public void doMagic() {
Logger loggerMock = mock(Logger.class);
Loggable loggableMock = mock(Loggable.class); // <- not needed, but I also tried this way

// mocks done

AppShowOff app = new AppShowOff();
AppShowOff appSpy = Mockito.spy(new AppShowOff());

when(loggableMock.logger()).thenReturn(loggerMock);
when(appSpy.logger()).thenReturn(loggerMock);

app.doMagic();
verify(loggerMock, times(1)).debug(any());
}
}


as you can see I have tried to mock the default method in two ways:



when(loggableMock.logger()).thenReturn(loggerMock);
when(appSpy.logger()).thenReturn(loggerMock);


but it does not work. The result is:




Wanted but not invoked: logger.debug();
-> at so.AppShowOffTest.doMagic(AppShowOffTest.java:29) Actually, there were zero interactions with this mock.

    You're mocking on appSpy but calling doMagic on app...

Here:



AppShowOff app = new AppShowOff();
AppShowOff appSpy = Mockito.spy(new AppShowOff());


That first app ... is never used, besides to call your method under test doMagic().



The simple answer: drop app completely, and invoke appSpy.doMagic().
