T
- type of argumentpublic abstract class ArgumentMatcher<T>
Allows creating customized argument matchers.
ArgumentMatcher is an hamcrest Matcher
with predefined describeTo() method.
In case of failure, ArgumentMatcher generates description based on decamelized class name - to promote meaningful class names.
For example StringWithStrongLanguage matcher will generate 'String with strong language' description.
You can always override describeTo() method and provide detailed description.
Use Matchers.argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher
method and pass an instance of hamcrest Matcher
, e.g:
class IsListOfTwoElements extends ArgumentMatcher<List> {
public boolean matches(Object list) {
return ((List) list).size() == 2;
}
}
List mock = mock(List.class);
when(mock.addAll(argThat(new IsListOfTwoElements()))).thenReturn(true);
mock.addAll(Arrays.asList("one", "two"));
verify(mock).addAll(argThat(new IsListOfTwoElements()));
To keep it readable you may want to extract method, e.g:
verify(mock).addAll(argThat(new IsListOfTwoElements()));
//becomes
verify(mock).addAll(listOfTwoElements());
Warning: Be reasonable with using complicated argument matching, especially custom argument matchers, as it can make the test less readable.
Sometimes it's better to implement equals() for arguments that are passed to mocks
(Mockito naturally uses equals() for argument matching).
This can make the test cleaner.
Also, sometimes ArgumentCaptor
may be a better fit than custom matcher.
For example, if custom argument matcher is not likely to be reused
or you just need it to assert on argument values to complete verification of behavior.
