Using mockito captor to capture the argument sent to a method

Question

I would like to capture the argument inputMessage in the readInternal() of the CustomMessageConverter class when client submits a message. client object here is not a mock object.

@Component public class CustomMessageConverter extends AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object> { ... @Override protected Object readInternal(final Class<? extends Object> clazz, final HttpInputMessage inputMessage) throws IOException, HttpMessageNotReadableException { ...do something here... } ... }

In AbstractHttpMessageConverter class:

@Override public final T read(Class<? extends T> clazz, HttpInputMessage inputMessage) throws IOException { return readInternal(clazz, inputMessage); }

So, I wrote a mockito class to capture it.

But, it is still going to the regular converter class. Could you suggest what I am doing wrong?

@Mock CustomMessageConverter mockMessageConverter; @Captor private ArgumentCaptor<HttpInputMessage> inputMessage; @Test public void test() { when(mockMessageConverter.read(CustomMessage.class, inputMessage.capture())).thenReturn(null); client.submitMessage(Message); verify(mockMessageConverter, times(1)); Object actual = customConverter.read(CustomMessage.class, inputMessage.getValue()); }

Per the limitations of Mockito, you can't stub or verify final methods. In short, because the method is marked final, Java skips looking up the method in a method table (or calling the Proxy object that Mockito creates) and compiles in a call to the method implementation directly. With that direct-compiled call there is no opportunity for Mockito to substitute its own answers for stubbing or call-tracking logic for verification.

Try mocking readInternal instead, or refactor your code to rely on an interface instead of an implementation. Mockito can mock any method on an interface, because there are no finality or visibility problems allowed within interfaces.
