Mockito thenReturn returns same instance

Question

I have this in Mockito:

when(mockedMergeContext.createNewEntityOfType(IService.class)).thenReturn(new ServiceMock());
         


        

Answer 1

In Java 8 with Lambdas you can just use

when(mockedMergeContext.createNewEntityOfType(IService.class)).thenAnswer(invocation -> new ServiceMock());

So just replace .thenReturn(new MyMock());

with .thenAnswer(invocation -> new MyMock());
