Can I delay a stubbed method response with Mockito?


I'm writing unit tests now. I need to simulate long-run method with Mockito to test my implementation's timeout handling. Is it possible with Mockito?

Something like this:

when(mockedService.doSomething(a, b)).thenReturn(c).after(5000L);

Solution

  • You could simply put the thread to sleep for the desired time. Watch out tho - such things can really slow down your automated test execution, so you might want to isolate such tests in a separate suite

    It would look similar to this:

    when(mock.load("a")).thenAnswer(new Answer<String>() {
       @Override
       public String answer(InvocationOnMock invocation){
         Thread.sleep(5000);
         return "ABCD1234";
       }
    });
