So, I’m creating a mock object as a static variable on the class level like so… In one test, I want Foo.someMethod() to return a certain value, while in another test, I want it to return a different value. The problem I’m having is that it seems I need to rebuild the mocks to get this to work correctly. I’d like to avoid rebuilding the mocks, and just use the same objects in each test.
class TestClass {
private static Foo mockFoo;
@BeforeClass
public static void setUp() {
mockFoo = mock(Foo.class);
}
@Test
public void test1() {
when(mockFoo.someMethod()).thenReturn(0);
TestObject testObj = new TestObject(mockFoo);
testObj.bar(); // calls mockFoo.someMethod(), receiving 0 as the value
}
@Test
public void test2() {
when(mockFoo.someMethod()).thenReturn(1);
TestObject testObj = new TestObject(mockFoo);
testObj.bar(); // calls mockFoo.someMethod(), STILL receiving 0 as the value, instead of expected 1.
}
}
In the second test, I’m still receiving 0 as the value when testObj.bar() is called… What is the best way to resolve this? Note that I know I could use a different mock of Foo in each test, however, I have to chain multiple requests off of mockFoo, meaning I’d have to do the chaining in each test.
