Mocking getClass method with PowerMockito

问题


I'd like to avoid mocking the getClass() method for a class but cannot seem to find any way around it. I'm trying to test a class that stores objects class types in a HashMap to a particular method to be used later. A brief example of this is:

public class ClassToTest {
    /** Map that will be populated with objects during constructor */
    private Map<Class<?>, Method> map = new HashMap<Class<?>, Method>();

    ClassToTest() {
        /* Loop through methods in ClassToTest and if they return a boolean and 
           take in an InterfaceA parameter then add them to map */
    }

    public void testMethod(InterfaceA obj) {
        final Method method = map.get(obj.getClass());
        boolean ok;
        if (method != null) {
             ok = (Boolean) method.invoke(this, obj);
        }
        if (ok) {
            obj.run();
        }
    }

    public boolean isSafeClassA(final ClassA obj) {
        // Work out if safe to run and then return true/false
    }

    public boolean isSafeClassB(final ClassB obj) {
       // Work out if safe to run and then return true/fals 
    }

}

public interface InterfaceA {
   void run()
}

public class ClassA implements InterfaceA {
   public void run() {
      // implements method here
   }
}

public class ClassB implements InterfaceA {
    public void run() {
       // implements method here
    }
}

I then have a JUnit test that looks a little like this:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({ClassA.class})
public class ClassToTestTest {
    private final ClassToTest tester = new ClassToTest();

    @Test
    public void test() {
        MockGateway.MOCK_GET_CLASS_METHOD = true;
        final ClassA classA = spy(new ClassA());
        doReturn(ClassA.class).when(classA).getClass();
        MockGateway.MOCK_GET_CLASS_METHOD = false;

        tester.testMethod(classA);
        verify(classA).run();
    }
}

My problem is although inside the test() method classA.getClass(); will return ClassA, once inside tester's testMethod() method it still returns the ClassA$EnhancerByMockitoWithCGLIB$... class and so my object useful will always be null.

Is there any way I can get around mocking the class or what do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Wow, what a headache to get this code testable. The main issues are that you can't use mock objects as key objects into your calls to map.get(obj.getClass()), and you're trying to invoke() potentially mock objects for your testing. I had to refactor your class under test so that we can mock out the functionality/behaviour and be able to verify its behaviour.

So this is your new implementation to be tested with member variables decoupling the various pieces of functionailty and injected by the test class

public class ClassToTest {

    MethodStore methodStore;
    MethodInvoker methodInvoker;
    ClassToInvoke classToInvoke;
    ObjectRunner objectRunner;  

    public void testMethod(InterfaceA obj) throws Exception {

        Method method = methodStore.getMethod(obj);

        boolean ok = false;

        if (method != null) {
            ok = methodInvoker.invoke(method, classToInvoke, obj);
        }

        if (ok) {
            objectRunner.run(obj);
        }   
    }

    public void setMethodStore(MethodStore methodStore) {
        this.methodStore = methodStore;
    }

    public void setMethodInvoker(MethodInvoker methodInvoker) {
        this.methodInvoker = methodInvoker;
    }

    public void setObjectRunner(ObjectRunner objectRunner) {
        this.objectRunner = objectRunner;
    }

    public void setClassToInvoke(ClassToInvoke classToInvoke) {
        this.classToInvoke = classToInvoke;
    }
}

This is your test class that no longer requires PowerMock, because it can't mock the Method class. It just returns a NullPointerException.

public class MyTest {

    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {

        ClassToTest classToTest = new ClassToTest();

        ClassA inputA = new ClassA();

        // trying to use powermock here just returns a NullPointerException
//      final Method mockMethod = PowerMockito.mock(Method.class);
        Method mockMethod = (new ClassToInvoke()).getClass().getMethod("someMethod");   // a real Method instance

        // regular mockito for mocking behaviour    
        ClassToInvoke mockClassToInvoke = mock(ClassToInvoke.class);
        classToTest.setClassToInvoke(mockClassToInvoke);

        MethodStore mockMethodStore = mock(MethodStore.class);
        classToTest.setMethodStore(mockMethodStore);

        when(mockMethodStore.getMethod(inputA)).thenReturn(mockMethod);

        MethodInvoker mockMethodInvoker = mock(MethodInvoker.class);
        classToTest.setMethodInvoker(mockMethodInvoker);

        when(mockMethodInvoker.invoke(mockMethod,mockClassToInvoke, inputA)).thenReturn(Boolean.TRUE);

        ObjectRunner mockObjectRunner = mock(ObjectRunner.class);
        classToTest.setObjectRunner(mockObjectRunner);

        // execute test method      
        classToTest.testMethod(inputA);

        verify(mockObjectRunner).run(inputA);   
    }
}

The additional classes you require are as follows

public class ClassToInvoke {
    public void someMethod() {};
}

public class ClassA implements InterfaceA {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do something
    }
}

public class ClassToInvoke {
    public void someMethod() {};
}

public class MethodInvoker {

    public Boolean invoke(Method method, Object obj, InterfaceA a) throws Exception {
         return (Boolean) method.invoke(obj, a);
    }
}

public class MethodStore {

    Map<Class<?>, Method> map = new HashMap<Class<?>, Method>();

    public Method getMethod(InterfaceA obj) {
        return map.get(obj);
    }
}

Put all this into your IDE and it will pass with a Green bar...woohoo!

Your problem is actually that getClass is final in Object, so you can't stub it with Mockito. I can't think of a good way around this. There is one possibility, that you might consider.

Write a utility class that has a single method

public Class getClass(Object o){
    return o.getClass();
}

and refactor the class that you're testing, so that it uses an object of this utility class, instead of calling getClass() directly. Then, make it possible to inject the utility object, either with a special package-private constructor, or with a setter method.

public class ClassToTest{
    private UtilityWithGetClass utility;
    private Map<Class<?>, Object> map = new HashMap<Class<?>, Object>();

    public ClassToTest() {
        this(new UtilityWithGetClass());
    }

    ClassToTest(UtilityWithGetClass utility){
        this.utility = utility;
        // Populate map here
    }

    // more stuff here
}

Now, in your test, make a mock of the object and stub getClass. Inject the mock into the class that you're testing.

I've faced with similar question, too. I think you should add ClassToTest.class to @PrepareForTest, because you want to mock the getClass() function in that class
