How to mock the IssueService ?

Question

Hello,

The doGet method of my servlet performs a

IssueResult issueResult = issueService.getIssue(user, issueKey);

hence I did imagine to mock the IssueService ?

However Mockito does not allow to mock IssueService ?

How to do this ?

Thanks for your help

Dear Santwana,

Yes, I am passing issueService as an argument to the servlet constructor.

@Scanned
public class IssueCRUD extends HttpServlet {

private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(IssueCRUD.class);

@JiraImport
private IssueService issueService;

public IssueCRUD(IssueService issueService,
ProjectService projectService,
SearchService searchService,
TemplateRenderer templateRenderer,
JiraAuthenticationContext authenticationContext,
ConstantsManager constantsManager) {

this.issueService = issueService;

..

Here is my test code

@Before
public void setup() {

mockRequest = Mockito.mock(HttpServletRequest.class);
mockResponse = Mockito.mock(HttpServletResponse.class);

fred = new MockApplicationUser("Fred");
jiraAuthenticationContext = Mockito.mock(JiraAuthenticationContext.class);

Mockito.when(jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()).thenReturn(fred);

IssueService issueService = Mockito.mock(IssueService.class);

.......

launching atlas-unit-test

I got several errors

[ERROR] Found a type [com.atlassian.plugin.spring.scanner.annotation.imports.JiraImport] annotated as a component, but the type is not a concrete class. NOT adding to index file!!

............

finally the error right on the line 102 of the mock of the IssueService class

org.mockito.exceptions.base.MockitoException:
Mockito cannot mock this class: interface com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService.

Hi @Robert Pastor,

Are you passing "issueService" as an argument to the servlet constructor or creating an object through sal api ComponetAccessor or ComponentLocator?

If you are passing as an argument, then you can mock the issueService class with Mockito.mock(IssueService.class).

If you are using sal api ComponetAccessor or ComponentLocator, then, please check this link https://docs.atlassian.com/DAC/javadoc/sal/2.6/reference/com/atlassian/sal/testresources/component/MockComponentLocator.html.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks,

Santwana
