具有多个参数的 Spring Boot 集成测试模拟 bean 方法返回 null

Question

I have simple spring boot application with Controller , Service , Business and Util classes, so I'm trying to mock the method in MockUtil bean which takes four parameters but it returns null

MockMainController

@RestController
public class MockMainController {

@Autowired
private MockBusiness mockBusiness;

@GetMapping("request")
public MockOutput mockRequest() {
    return mockBusiness.businessLogic(new MockInput());

    }

 }

MockBusiness

@Service
public class MockBusiness {

@Autowired
private MockService mockService;

public MockOutput businessLogic(MockInput input) {
    return mockService.serviceLogic(input);
    }

 }

MockService

@Service
public class MockService {

@Autowired
private MockUtil mockUtil;

public MockOutput serviceLogic(MockInput input) {

    ResponseEntity<MockOutput> res = mockUtil.exchange(UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(" "), HttpMethod.GET,
            HttpEntity.EMPTY, new ParameterizedTypeReference<MockOutput>() {
            });
    return res.getBody();

    }

 }

MockUtil

@Component
public class MockUtil {

@Autowired
private RestTemplate restTemplate;

public <T> ResponseEntity<T> exchange(UriComponentsBuilder uri, HttpMethod method, HttpEntity<?> entity,
        ParameterizedTypeReference<T> typeReference) {

    try {

        ResponseEntity<T> response = restTemplate.exchange(uri.toUriString(), method, entity, typeReference);

        return response;
    } catch (HttpStatusCodeException ex) {
        System.out.println(ex);
        return new ResponseEntity<T>(ex.getStatusCode());
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR).build();
         }
     }

 }

Below is my simple test class, when ever mockUtil.exchange method is called i want to return object based on ParameterizedTypeReference<T>

MockControllerTest

@SpringBootTest
@ActiveProfiles("test")
@Profile("test")
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class MockControllerTest {

@Autowired
private MockMainController mockMainController;

@MockBean
private MockUtil mockUtil;

@Test
public void controllerTest() {

    given(this.mockUtil.exchange(ArgumentMatchers.any(), ArgumentMatchers.any(), ArgumentMatchers.any(),
            ArgumentMatchers.any(new ParameterizedTypeReference<MockOutput>() {
            }.getClass()))).willReturn(ResponseEntity.ok().body(new MockOutput("hello", "success")));

    MockOutput output = mockMainController.mockRequest();
    System.out.println(output);

    }

 }

By debugging I can see that mockUtil.exchange is returning null

It seems that the way you match ParameterizedTypeReference is not working. It does not match as you expect.

Try the following:

given(mockUtil
    .exchange(
        ArgumentMatchers.any(),
        ArgumentMatchers.any(),
        ArgumentMatchers.any(),
        // eq matches to any param of the same generic type
        ArgumentMatchers.eq(new ParameterizedTypeReference<MockOutput>(){})))
.willReturn(ResponseEntity.ok().body(new MockOutput("hello", "success")));

It seems after few tests that if you do not use eq Mockito expects the passed ParameterizedTypeReference to be the same instance as in given(..) and with eq it just checks that it represents the same generic type.
