java - Error in junit while mocking

Question

I am new to Junit,Below is the junit code which i am running.

package com.de.base.util.general;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;
import java.util.HashMap;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class JReportUtilTest {
@InjectMocks 
ReportUtil w_res = new ReportUtil();

@Mock
CollectionUtil w_util;

@Test
public void test_removeHashedSettings() throws Exception {
    HashMap<String ,String> w_abc = new HashMap<String,String>();
    w_abc.put("abc","89");
    //CollectionUtil mock = org.mockito.Mockito.mock(CollectionUtil.class);
    //PowerMockito.mockStatic(CollectionUtil.class,w_abc);          
    when(w_util.createHashMap("abc:89", ":")).thenReturn(w_abc);
    assertEquals("abc:89:",ReportUtil.removeHashedSettings("1", "abc:89", ":"));
}
}

Here is my api removedHashedSettingsin ReportUtil

public static String removeHashedSettings(String key, String a_settings, String deilimiter) throws Exception
    {
        if (!(key != null && key.trim().length() > 0))
            return a_settings;
        if (!(a_settings != null && a_settings.trim().length() > 0))
            return a_settings;

        HashMap hSettings = CollectionUtil.createHashMap(a_settings, deilimiter);
        hSettings.remove(key);
        return getSettingFromHash(hSettings, deilimiter);
    }

Below is the code for createHashMap in CollectionUtil which i have to mock.

public static HashMap<String, String> createHashMap(String a_NameValStr, String a_Delim)// throws Exception
    {
        HashMap<String, String> w_KeyVal = new HashMap<String, String>();
        if (LOGGER.isInfoEnabled()) LOGGER.info("CollectionUtil:createHashMap:Hashing string: "+ a_NameValStr );

        if(a_NameValStr == null) return w_KeyVal;

            StringTokenizer w_StrTkn = new StringTokenizer(a_NameValStr, a_Delim);
            if( w_StrTkn.countTokens() == 0 || (w_StrTkn.countTokens()%2) != 0 )
            {
                LOGGER.warn("CollectionUtil:createHashMap:Invalid number of tokens to hash: "+ a_NameValStr+":"+w_StrTkn.countTokens() );
                return w_KeyVal;
            }

            while (w_StrTkn.hasMoreTokens()) w_KeyVal.put( w_StrTkn.nextToken(), w_StrTkn.nextToken());
        System.out.println(w_KeyVal);   
        return w_KeyVal;
    }

Here is the error i am getting while running my junit test case.

 org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.MissingMethodInvocationException: 
when() requires an argument which has to be 'a method call on a mock'.
For example:
    when(mock.getArticles()).thenReturn(articles);

Also, this error might show up because:
1. you stub either of: final/private/equals()/hashCode() methods.
   Those methods *cannot* be stubbed/verified.
   Mocking methods declared on non-public parent classes is not supported.
2. inside when() you don't call method on mock but on some other object.

I am using mockito -all-1.10.19.jar,powermock-api-mockito-1.6.6.jar,powermock-core-1.6.6.jar,powermock-module-junit4-1.6.6.jar Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Here is my working code:

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import java.util.HashMap;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(CollectionUtil.class)
public class TestHarnesTest {
    @InjectMocks
    TestHarnes w_res = new TestHarnes();

    @Before
    public void before() {
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(CollectionUtil.class);
    }

    @Test
    public void test_removeHashedSettings() throws Exception {
        HashMap<String, String> w_abc = new HashMap<String, String>();
        w_abc.put("abc", "89");
        // CollectionUtil mock = org.mockito.Mockito.mock(CollectionUtil.class);
        // PowerMockito.mockStatic(CollectionUtil.class,w_abc);
        PowerMockito.when(CollectionUtil.createHashMap(Mockito.eq("abc:89"), Mockito.eq(":"))).thenReturn(w_abc);
        assertEquals("abc:89:", TestHarnes.removeHashedSettings("1", "abc:89", ":"));
    }
}

and the TestHarnes class

public class TestHarnes {

    public static String removeHashedSettings(final String key, final String a_settings, final String deilimiter) throws Exception {
        if (!(key != null && key.trim().length() > 0)) {
            return a_settings;
        }
        if (!(a_settings != null && a_settings.trim().length() > 0)) {
            return a_settings;
        }

        HashMap hSettings = CollectionUtil.createHashMap(a_settings, deilimiter);
        hSettings.remove(key);
        return getSettingFromHash(hSettings, deilimiter);
    }

    private static String getSettingFromHash(final HashMap hSettings, final String deilimiter) {
        return "";
    }

}
