Simulate first call fails, second call succeeds

Question

I want to use Mockito to test the (simplified) code below. I don\'t know how to tell Mockito to fail the first time, then succeed the second time.

for(int i = 1;         


        

Answer 1

To add on to this and this answer, you can also use a loop to chain the mocked calls. This is useful if you need to mock the same thing several times, or mock in some pattern.

Eg (albeit a farfetched one):

import org.mockito.stubbing.Stubber;

Stubber stubber = doThrow(new Exception("Exception!"));
for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
    if (i%2 == 0) {
        stubber.doNothing();
    } else {
        stubber.doThrow(new Exception("Exception"));
    }
}
stubber.when(myMockObject).someMethod(anyString());
