How to resolve Unneccessary Stubbing exception

Question

My Code is as below,

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class MyClass {

    private static final String code =\"Test\";

    @Mock
     private MyCl         


        

Answer 1

I had UnnecessaryStubbingException when I tried to use the when methods on a Spy object. Mockito.lenient() silenced the exception but the test results were not correct.

In case of Spy objects, one has to call the methods directly.

@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
@RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
class ArithmTest {

    @Spy
    private Arithm arithm;

    @Test
    void testAddition() {

        int res = arithm.add(2, 5);

        // doReturn(7).when(arithm).add(2, 5);
        assertEquals(res, 7);
    }
}

Answer 2

For me neither the @Rule nor the @RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.Silent.class) suggestions worked. It was a legacy project where we upgraded to mockito-core 2.23.0.

We could get rid of the UnnecessaryStubbingException by using:

Mockito.lenient().when(mockedService.getUserById(any())).thenReturn(new User());

instead of:

when(mockedService.getUserById(any())).thenReturn(new User());

Needless to say that you should rather look at the test code, but we needed to get the stuff compiled and the tests running first of all ;)

Answer 3

 when(dao.doSearch(dto)).thenReturn(inspectionsSummaryList);//got error in this line
 verify(dao).doSearchInspections(dto);

The when here configures your mock to do something. However, you donot use this mock in any way anymore after this line (apart from doing a verify). Mockito warns you that the when line therefore is pointless. Perhaps you made a logic error?

Answer 4

If you're using this style instead:

@Rule
public MockitoRule rule = MockitoJUnit.rule().strictness(Strictness.STRICT_STUBS);

replace it with:

@Rule
public MockitoRule rule = MockitoJUnit.rule().silent();

Answer 5

Replace @RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) with @RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.Silent.class).

Answer 6

Replace

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)

with

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.Silent.class)

or remove @RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)

or just comment out the unwanted mocking calls (shown as unauthorised stubbing).
