[java] Mockito matcher and array of primitives

With Mockito, I want to verify() a method call with byte[] in its argument list, but I didn't find how to write this.

 myMethod( byte[] )

I just want something like anyByteArray(), how to do that with Mockito ?

This question is related to java mockito

The answer is


What works for me was org.mockito.ArgumentMatchers.isA

for example:

isA(long[].class)

that works fine.

the implementation difference of each other is:

public static <T> T any(Class<T> type) {
    reportMatcher(new VarArgAware(type, "<any " + type.getCanonicalName() + ">"));
    return Primitives.defaultValue(type);
}

public static <T> T isA(Class<T> type) {
    reportMatcher(new InstanceOf(type));
    return Primitives.defaultValue(type);
}

I agree with Mutanos and Alecio. Further, one can check as many identical method calls as possible (verifying the subsequent calls in the production code, the order of the verify's does not matter). Here is the code:

import static org.mockito.AdditionalMatchers.*;

    verify(mockObject).myMethod(aryEq(new byte[] { 0 }));
    verify(mockObject).myMethod(aryEq(new byte[] { 1, 2 }));

You can use Mockito.any() when arguments are arrays also. I used it like this:

verify(myMock, times(0)).setContents(any(), any());

You can always create a custom Matcher using argThat

Mockito.verify(yourMockHere).methodCallToBeVerifiedOnYourMockHere(ArgumentMatchers.argThat(new ArgumentMatcher<Object>() {
    @Override
    public boolean matches(Object argument) {
        YourTypeHere[] yourArray = (YourTypeHere[]) argument;
        // Do whatever you like, here is an example:
        if (!yourArray[0].getStringValue().equals("first_arr_val")) {
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
}));

I used Matchers.refEq for this.


Try this:

AdditionalMatchers.aryEq(array);

I would rather use Matchers.<byte[]>any(). This worked for me.
