Cannot instantiate @InjectMocks field named 'viewModel' of type 'class com.example.digiandroidapp.viewmodel.CarViewModel'?


I am developing android app and I have implemented mockito in my viewmodel class in android but when I run the test I am getting following exceptions

org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.InjectMocksException: 
Cannot instantiate @InjectMocks field named 'viewModel' of type 'class com.example.digiandroidapp.viewmodel.CarViewModel'.
You haven't provided the instance at field declaration so I tried to construct the instance.
However the constructor or the initialization block threw an exception : Parameter specified as non-null is null: method com.example.digiandroidapp.viewmodel.CarViewModel.<init>, parameter carsInfoDao

}
  1. Invalidate cache restart 2.Followed following answers Cannot instantiate @InjectMocks field named exception with java class

I want to know what is causing an issue what I have to do in order to avoid exceptions I have followed many stackoverflow post it did not solve my issue


Solution

  • I fixed by adding MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this) to setup method
