spring data mongodb - Optional cannot be returned by stream() in Mockito Test classes

Question

I am developing Test cases for the Spring Data Mongo Services.

org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.WrongTypeOfReturnValue: 
Optional cannot be returned by stream()
stream() should return Stream

If you're unsure why you're getting above error read on.
Due to the nature of the syntax above problem might occur because:
1. This exception *might* occur in wrongly written multi-threaded tests.
   Please refer to Mockito FAQ on limitations of concurrency testing.
2. A spy is stubbed using when(spy.foo()).then() syntax. It is safer to stub spies - 
   - with doReturn|Throw() family of methods. More in javadocs for Mockito.spy() method.

Here is the my sample code:

AggregationResults<EmployeeFacet> employeeFacets = null;
try {
    employeeFacets = mongoTemplate.aggregate(aggregation, Department.class, EmployeeFacet.class);
} catch (Exception ex) {
    log.error(AppConstants.ERROR, AppConstants.DB_ERROR, ex);
    throw new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, AppConstants.DB_ERROR, ex);
}

Another Code:

private SortOperation getSortOperation(Pageable pageable) {
        SortOperation sortOperation = null;
        Optional<Order> value = pageable.getSort().stream().findFirst();
        if(value.isPresent()) {
            Direction direction = value.get().getDirection();
            String property = value.get().getProperty();
            sortOperation = Aggregation.sort(direction, property); 
        }
        return sortOperation;
    }

Answer 1

I was able to fixed using below:

when(pageable.getSort()).thenReturn(Sort.by(order));

This works like charm !
