Class MockitoHamcrest

java.lang.Object

org.mockito.hamcrest.MockitoHamcrest

public final class MockitoHamcrest
extends Object

Allows matching arguments with hamcrest matchers. Requires hamcrest on classpath, Mockito does not depend on hamcrest! Note the NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat described below.

Before implementing or reusing an existing hamcrest matcher please read how to deal with sophisticated argument matching in ArgumentMatcher.

Mockito 2.1.0 was decoupled from Hamcrest to avoid version incompatibilities that have impacted our users in past. Mockito offers a dedicated API to match arguments via ArgumentMatcher. Hamcrest integration is provided so that users can take advantage of existing Hamcrest matchers.

Example:

     import static org.mockito.hamcrest.MockitoHamcrest.argThat;

     //stubbing
     when(mock.giveMe(argThat(new MyHamcrestMatcher())));

     //verification
     verify(mock).giveMe(argThat(new MyHamcrestMatcher()));
 

NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat. In rare cases when matching primitive parameter types you *must* use relevant intThat(), floatThat(), etc. method. This way you will avoid NullPointerException during auto-unboxing. Due to how java works we don't really have a clean way of detecting this scenario and protecting the user from this problem. Hopefully, the javadoc describes the problem and solution well. If you have an idea how to fix the problem, let us know via the mailing list or the issue tracker.

Since:

2.1.0

Method Detail

argThat

public static <T> T argThat(Matcher<T> matcher)

Allows matching arguments with hamcrest matchers.

See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

null or default value for primitive (0, false, etc.)

Since:

2.1.0

charThat

public static char charThat(Matcher<Character> matcher)

Enables integrating hamcrest matchers that match primitive char arguments. Note that argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>) will not work with primitive char matchers due to NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat.

See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

0.

booleanThat

public static boolean booleanThat(Matcher<Boolean> matcher)

Enables integrating hamcrest matchers that match primitive boolean arguments. Note that argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>) will not work with primitive boolean matchers due to NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat.

See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

false.

byteThat

public static byte byteThat(Matcher<Byte> matcher)

Enables integrating hamcrest matchers that match primitive byte arguments. Note that argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>) will not work with primitive byte matchers due to NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat.

* See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

0.

shortThat

public static short shortThat(Matcher<Short> matcher)

Enables integrating hamcrest matchers that match primitive short arguments. Note that argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>) will not work with primitive short matchers due to NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat.

* See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

0.

intThat

public static int intThat(Matcher<Integer> matcher)

Enables integrating hamcrest matchers that match primitive int arguments. Note that argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>) will not work with primitive int matchers due to NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat.

* See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

0.

longThat

public static long longThat(Matcher<Long> matcher)

Enables integrating hamcrest matchers that match primitive long arguments. Note that argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>) will not work with primitive long matchers due to NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat.

* See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

0.

floatThat

public static float floatThat(Matcher<Float> matcher)

Enables integrating hamcrest matchers that match primitive float arguments. Note that argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>) will not work with primitive float matchers due to NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat.

* See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

0.

doubleThat

public static double doubleThat(Matcher<Double> matcher)

Enables integrating hamcrest matchers that match primitive double arguments. Note that argThat(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>) will not work with primitive double matchers due to NullPointerException auto-unboxing caveat.

* See examples in javadoc for MockitoHamcrest class

Parameters:

matcher - decides whether argument matches

Returns:

0.
