How to get a JsonProcessingException using Jackson

Question

Might be a strange question but indeed I would like to achieve a a bit more coverage on my tests and although I coded against a JsonProcessingException I can\'t

Answer 1

just in case this may help someone, when i was unit testing for a JsonProcessingException i kept getting this error:

JsonProcessingException has protected access in com.fasterxml.jackson...

this was my code

// error is on the below line
JsonProcessingException e = new JsonProcessingException("borked");

doThrow(e).when(classMock).methodToMock(any(), any());

i found out i just needed to add "{}" as such

JsonProcessingException e = new JsonProcessingException("borked") {};
