I am trying to test a static method using JMockit. This method uses a utility class static method.
When the test runs, JMockit complains and throws the following exception:
Test set: com.company.pkg.subpkg.mylib.test.ServiceCommunicationTest

mockit.internal.UnexpectedInvocation: Parameter "requestToSend" of com.company.pkg.subpkg.mylib.NetworkUtil#sendHttpRequest(org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest requestToSend) expected GET https://localhost HTTP/1.1, got GET https://localhost HTTP/1.1

Here is the test that is causing the exception to be thrown -
@RunWith(JUnit4.class)
public class ServiceCommunicationTest {
@Mocked
private NetworkUtil _mockedNetworkUtil;
@Test
public void testMakeResourceRequestPositive() throws IOException {
ResourcesDTO resDto = null;
final String jsonResponse = JsonResponsesTestUtil.SUCCESSFUL_RESOURCES_RESPONSE;
final String serviceUrl = "https://localhost";
final HttpUriRequest requestToSend = new HttpGet(serviceUrl);
new Expectations() {
{
NetworkUtil.validateStringInput(serviceUrl, "rootUri");
NetworkUtil.sendHttpRequest(requestToSend);
returns(jsonResponse);
}
};
// Make the actual call …
try {
resDto = ServiceCommunicator.makeResourceRequest(serviceUrl);
} catch (IOException e) {
Assert.fail("Failed to parse/obtain the Resources DTO: " + e.getMessage());
}
Assert.assertNotNull(resDto);
Assert.assertNotNull(resDto.getSelfUri());
}
}
Some thing which is confusing is that the expected and actual strings (as reported in the exception) as same -
expected GET https://localhost HTTP/1.1
got GET https://localhost HTTP/1.1
The method under test is here -
public static ResourcesDTO makeResourceRequest(String rootUri) throws IOException {
NetworkUtil.validateStringInput(rootUri, "rootUri");
// Preparing HTTP Request ...
HttpUriRequest requestToSend = new HttpGet(rootUri);
// Headers that needs to be set ...
requestToSend.addHeader(HttpHeaders.ACCEPT, MimeConstants.CONTENT_TYPE_STRING);
// Send Request to Authorization Service ...
String response = NetworkUtil.sendHttpRequest(requestToSend);
// Got the response, construct a DTOs out of it ...
StringReader reader = new StringReader(response);
// Convert the JSON response to appropriate DTO ...
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
ResourcesDTO resourcesDto = mapper.readValue(reader, ResourcesDTO.class);
return resourcesDto;
}
The utility class that is referred by the above method is this -
public final class NetworkUtil {
// Prevent Instance Creation …
private NetworkUtil() {
}
public static ResourcesDTO makeResourceRequest(String rootUri) throws IOException {
NetworkUtil.validateStringInput(rootUri, "rootUri");
// Preparing HTTP Request ...
HttpUriRequest requestToSend = new HttpGet(rootUri);
// Headers that needs to be set ...
requestToSend.addHeader(HttpHeaders.ACCEPT, MimeConstants.CONTENT_TYPE_STRING);
// Send Request to the Server ...
String response = NetworkUtil.sendHttpRequest(requestToSend);
// Got the response, construct a DTOs out of it ...
StringReader reader = new StringReader(response);
// Convert the JSON response to appropriate DTO ...
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
ResourcesDTO resourcesDto = mapper.readValue(reader, ResourcesDTO.class);
return resourcesDto;
}
}
Can anyone see what's going on here ?
