Mockito stubbing outside of the test method

Question

I have the following method outside the test method

private DynamicBuild getSkippedBuild() {
    DynamicBuild build = mock(DynamicBuild.class);
    when(build.i         


        

Answer 1

If isSkipped() is not a final method, this problem probably indicates that you try to stub a method while stubbing of another method is in progress. It's not supported because Mockito relies on order of method invocations (when(), etc) in its stubbing API.

I guess you have something like this in your test method:

when(...).thenReturn(getSkippedBuild());

If so, you need to rewrite it as follows:

DynamicBuild build = getSkippedBuild();
when(...).thenReturn(build);
