All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<MockNature>

@Beta
public enum MockNature
extends Enum<MockNature>

A named set of defaults for a mock's configuration options. A mock nature is chosen at mock creation time, typically by selecting the appropriate MockingApi factory method.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
MOCK A mock object whose method calls are verified, which instantiates class-based mock objects with Objenesis, and whose strategy for responding to unexpected method calls is ZeroOrNullResponse.
SPY A mock object whose method calls are verified, which instantiates class-based mock objects by calling a real constructor, and whose strategy for responding to unexpected method calls is CallRealMethodResponse.
STUB A mock object whose method calls are not verified, which instantiates class-based mock objects with Objenesis, and whose strategy for responding to unexpected method calls is EmptyOrDummyResponse.

Enum Constant Detail

MOCK

public static final MockNature MOCK

A mock object whose method calls are verified, which instantiates class-based mock objects with Objenesis, and whose strategy for responding to unexpected method calls is ZeroOrNullResponse.

STUB

public static final MockNature STUB

A mock object whose method calls are not verified, which instantiates class-based mock objects with Objenesis, and whose strategy for responding to unexpected method calls is EmptyOrDummyResponse.

SPY

public static final MockNature SPY

A mock object whose method calls are verified, which instantiates class-based mock objects by calling a real constructor, and whose strategy for responding to unexpected method calls is CallRealMethodResponse.

Method Detail

values

public static MockNature[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (MockNature c : MockNature.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static MockNature valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

isVerified

public boolean isVerified()

Tells whether method calls should be verified.

Returns:

whether method calls should be verified

isUseObjenesis

public boolean isUseObjenesis()

Tells whether class-based mock objects should be instantiated with the Objenesis library (if available), or by calling a real constructor.

Returns:

whether class-based mock objects should be instantiated with the Objenesis library (if available), or by calling a real constructor

getDefaultResponse

public IDefaultResponse getDefaultResponse()

Returns the strategy for responding to unexpected method calls.

Returns:

the strategy for responding to unexpected method calls
