Is there a way to have a stubbed method return different objects on subsequent invocations? I'd like to do this to test nondeterminate responses from an ExecutorCompletionService
. i.e. to test that irrespective of the return order of the methods, the outcome remains constant.
The code I'm looking to test looks something like this.
// Create an completion service so we can group these tasks together
ExecutorCompletionService<T> completionService =
new ExecutorCompletionService<T>(service);
// Add all these tasks to the completion service
for (Callable<T> t : ts)
completionService.submit(request);
// As an when each call finished, add it to the response set.
for (int i = 0; i < calls.size(); i ++) {
try {
T t = completionService.take().get();
// do some stuff that I want to test
} catch (...) { }
}
You can do that using the thenAnswer
method (when chaining with when
):
when(someMock.someMethod()).thenAnswer(new Answer() {
private int count = 0;
public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
if (count++ == 1)
return 1;
return 2;
}
});
Or using the equivalent, static doAnswer
method:
doAnswer(new Answer() {
private int count = 0;
public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
if (count++ == 1)
return 1;
return 2;
}
}).when(someMock).someMethod();
