Creating intent in test: “Method putExtra in android.content.Intent not mocked”

问题

I'm trying to unit test a broadcast receiver which listens for "com.android.music.metachanged" intents using JUnit4 and Mockito.

The broadcast receiver starts a service when it receives an intent. I want to assert that the service is started. I also want to assert that the string extra "artist" of the received intent is the same as the one of the sent intent.

This is what I have so far...

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
public class MusicBroadcastReceiverUnitTest {
    private MusicBroadcastReceiver mReceiver;

    @Mock
    private Context mContext;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);

        mReceiver = new MusicBroadcastReceiver();
    }

    @Test
    public void testStartMusicRegistrationService() {
        Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.music.metachanged");
        intent.putExtra("artist", "SampleArtist");

        mReceiver.onReceive(mContext, intent);
        assertNull(mReceiver.getResultData());

        ArgumentCaptor<Intent> argument = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Intent.class);
        verify(mContext, times(1)).startService(argument.capture());

        Intent receivedIntent = argument.getValue();
        assertEquals("SampleArtist", receivedIntent.getStringExtra("artist"));
    }
}

But this fires a java.lang.RuntimeException: Method putExtra in android.content.Intent not mocked.

I checked this out, but I think the OP had a different problem, since they don't send out an intent from inside the test body.

All right, I took a look at Method of ContentValues is not mocked as suggested by @Jeff Bowman. Sadly, that question doesn't provide any code, so I hope this will be useful for somebody...

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
public class MusicBroadcastReceiverUnitTest {
    private MusicBroadcastReceiver mReceiver;

    @Mock
    private Context mContext;

    @Mock
    private Intent androidIntent;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);

        mReceiver = new MusicBroadcastReceiver();
    }

    @Test
    public void testStartMusicRegistrationService() {
        try {
        PowerMockito.whenNew(Intent.class)
               .withArguments(String.class).thenReturn(androidIntent);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        when(androidIntent.getAction())
          .thenReturn("com.android.music.metachanged");
        when(androidIntent.getStringExtra("artist"))
          .thenReturn("SampleArtist");

        mReceiver.onReceive(mContext, intent);

        ArgumentCaptor<Intent> argument = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Intent.class);
        verify(mContext, times(1)).startService(argument.capture());

        Intent receivedIntent = argument.getValue();
        assertEquals("SampleArtist", receivedIntent.getStringExtra("artist"));
    }
}

So yeah, I rather mocked "getStringExtra" than "putExtra". But it worked for me.

If you're like me and saw this error when running unit tests, but you didn't care about testing the putExtra portion of the code, you can use:

android {
    // ...
    testOptions {
        unitTests.returnDefaultValues = true
    }
}

in your app's build.gradle file.
