Kotlin Academy articles

Check the series of articles “Mocking is not rocket science” at Kt. Academy describing MockK from the very basics of mocking up to description of all advanced features.

Version twist

From version 1.9 MockK switched to Kotlin 1.3 and Coroutines 1.0 by default and other branch 1.9.kotlin12 may be used for compatibility with Kotlin 1.2.

Known issues & worth to remember

Some known issues related to Kotlin 1.3, Gradle 5 and Spring Boot were fixed in MockK 1.9. Please report if you face any problems.

PowerMock needs a workaround to run together with MockK #79. (not sure after workaround if it is generally usable or not, please somebody report it)

Installation

All you need to get started is just to add a dependency to MockK library.

Gradle/maven dependency

Approach Instruction testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk:{version}" (Kotlin DSL) testImplementation("io.mockk:mockk:{version}") <dependency> <groupId>io.mockk</groupId> <artifactId>mockk</artifactId> <version>{version}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> Unit testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk:{version}" Instrumented androidTestImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-android:{version}" Common multiplatform testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-common:{version}"

DSL examples

Simplest example. By default mocks are strict, so you need to provide some behaviour.

val car = mockk < Car >() every { car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) } returns Outcome . OK car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) // returns OK verify { car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) } confirmVerified ( car )

Annotations

You can use annotations to simplify creation of mock objects:

class TrafficSystem { lateinit var car1 : Car lateinit var car2 : Car lateinit var car3 : Car } class CarTest { @MockK lateinit var car1 : Car @RelaxedMockK lateinit var car2 : Car @MockK ( relaxUnitFun = true ) lateinit var car3 : Car @SpyK var car4 = Car () @InjectMockKs var trafficSystem = TrafficSystem () @Before fun setUp () = MockKAnnotations . init ( this , relaxUnitFun = true ) // turn relaxUnitFun on for all mocks @Test fun calculateAddsValues1 () { // ... use car1, car2, car3 and car4 } }

Injection first tries to match properties by name, then by class or superclass. Check lookupType parameter for customization.

Properties are injected even if private is applied. Constructors for injection are selected from the biggest number of arguments to lowest.

@InjectMockKs by default is injecting only lateinit var s or var s that are not assigned. To change this use overrideValues = true . This would assign value even if it is already somehow initialized. To inject val s use injectImmutable = true . For shorter notation use @OverrideMockKs which do the same as @InjectMockKs by default, but turns this two flags on.

JUnit5

In JUnit5 you can use MockKExtension to initialize mock.

@ExtendWith ( MockKExtension :: class ) class CarTest { @MockK lateinit var car1 : Car @RelaxedMockK lateinit var car2 : Car @MockK ( relaxUnitFun = true ) lateinit var car3 : Car @SpyK var car4 = Car () @Test fun calculateAddsValues1 () { // ... use car1, car2, car3 and car4 } }

Additionally it adds possibility to use @MockK and @RelaxedMockK on test function parameters:

@Test fun calculateAddsValues1 ( @MockK car1 : Car , @RelaxedMockK car2 : Car ) { // ... use car1 and car2 }

Spy

Spies allow to mix mocks and real objects.

val car = spyk ( Car ()) // or spyk<Car>() to call default constructor car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) // returns whatever real function of Car returns verify { car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) } confirmVerified ( car )

Note: the spy object is a copy of a passed object.

Relaxed mock

Relaxed mock is the mock that returns some simple value for all functions. This allows to skip specifying behavior for each case, while still allow to stub things you need. For reference types chained mocks are returned.

val car = mockk < Car >( relaxed = true ) car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) // returns null verify { car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) } confirmVerified ( car )

Note: relaxed mocking is working badly with generic return type. Usually in this case class cast exception is thrown. You need to specify stubbing manually for case of generic return type.

Workaround:

val func = mockk <() -> Car >( relaxed = true ) // in this case invoke function has generic return type // this line is workaround, without it relaxed mock would throw class cast exception on the next line every { func () } returns Car () // or you can return mockk() for example func ()

Mock relaxed for functions returning Unit

In case you would like Unit returning functions to be relaxed. You can use relaxUnitFun = true as an argument to mockk function, @MockK annotation or MockKAnntations.init function.

Function:

mockk < MockCls >( relaxUnitFun = true )

Annotation:

@MockK ( relaxUnitFun = true ) lateinit var mock1 : RurfMockCls init { MockKAnnotations . init ( this ) }

MockKAnnotations.init:

@MockK lateinit var mock2 : RurfMockCls init { MockKAnnotations . init ( this , relaxUnitFun = true ) }

Object mocks

Objects can be transformed to mocks following way:

object MockObj { fun add ( a : Int , b : Int ) = a + b } mockkObject ( MockObj ) // aplies mocking to an Object assertEquals ( 3 , MockObj . add ( 1 , 2 )) every { MockObj . add ( 1 , 2 ) } returns 55 assertEquals ( 55 , MockObj . add ( 1 , 2 ))

To revert back use unmockkAll or unmockkObject :

@Before fun beforeTests () { mockkObject ( MockObj ) every { MockObj . add ( 1 , 2 ) } returns 55 } @Test fun willUseMockBehaviour () { assertEquals ( 55 , MockObj . add ( 1 , 2 )) } @After fun afterTests () { unmockkAll () // or unmockkObject(MockObj) }

Despite Kotlin language limits you can create new instances of objects if testing logic needs that:

val newObjectMock = mockk < MockObj >()

Class mock

Sometimes you need mock of arbitary class. Use mockkClass in this case.

val car = mockkClass ( Car :: class ) every { car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) } returns Outcome . OK car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) // returns OK verify { car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) }

Enumeration mocks

Enums can be mocked using mockkObject :

enum class Enumeration ( val goodInt : Int ) { CONSTANT ( 35 ), OTHER_CONSTANT ( 45 ); } mockkObject ( Enumeration . CONSTANT ) every { Enumeration . CONSTANT . goodInt } returns 42 assertEquals ( 42 , Enumeration . CONSTANT . goodInt )

Constructor mocks

Sometimes, especially in code you are not owning, you need to mock newly created objects. For this purpose following constructs are provided:

class MockCls { fun add ( a : Int , b : Int ) = a + b } mockkConstructor ( MockCls :: class ) every { anyConstructed < MockCls >(). add ( 1 , 2 ) } returns 4 assertEquals ( 4 , MockCls (). add ( 1 , 2 )) // note new object is created verify { anyConstructed < MockCls >(). add ( 1 , 2 ) }

Basic idea is that just after constructor of mocked class is executed(any of them), objects become constructed mock . Mocking behavior of such mock is connected to special prototype mock denoted by anyConstructed<MockCls>() . There is one instance per class of such prototype mock . Call recording also happens to prototype mock . If no behavior for function is specified original function is executed.

Partial argument matching

You can mix both regular arguments and matchers:

val car = mockk < Car >() every { car . recordTelemetry ( speed = more ( 50 ), direction = Direction . NORTH , // here eq() is used lat = any (), long = any () ) } returns Outcome . RECORDED obj . recordTelemetry ( 60 , Direction . NORTH , 51.1377382 , 17.0257142 ) verify { obj . recordTelemetry ( 60 , Direction . NORTH , 51.1377382 , 17.0257142 ) } confirmVerified ( obj )

Chained calls

You can stub chains of calls:

val car = mockk < Car >() every { car . door ( DoorType . FRONT_LEFT ). windowState () } returns WindowState . UP car . door ( DoorType . FRONT_LEFT ) // returns chained mock for Door car . door ( DoorType . FRONT_LEFT ). windowState () // returns WindowState.UP verify { car . door ( DoorType . FRONT_LEFT ). windowState () } confirmVerified ( car )

Note: in case function return type is generic the information about actual type is erased. To make chained calls work additional information is required. Most of the times framework will catch the cast exception and do autohinting . But in the case it is explicitly needed just place hint before calls.

every { obj . op2 ( 1 , 2 ). hint ( Int :: class ). op1 ( 3 , 4 ) } returns 5

Hierarchical mocking

From version 1.9.1 mocks may be chained into hierarchies:

interface AddressBook { val contacts : List < Contact > } interface Contact { val name : String val telephone : String val address : Address } interface Address { val city : String val zip : String } val addressBook = mockk < AddressBook > { every { contacts } returns listOf ( mockk { every { name } returns "John" every { telephone } returns "123-456-789" every { address . city } returns "New-York" every { address . zip } returns "123-45" }, mockk { every { name } returns "Alex" every { telephone } returns "789-456-123" every { address } returns mockk { every { city } returns "Wroclaw" every { zip } returns "543-21" } } ) }

Capturing

You can capture an argument to a CapturingSlot or MutableList :

val car = mockk < Car >() val slot = slot < Double >() val list = mutableListOf < Double >() every { obj . recordTelemetry ( speed = capture ( slot ), direction = Direction . NORTH ) } answers { println ( slot . captured ) Outcome . RECORDED } every { obj . recordTelemetry ( speed = capture ( list ), direction = Direction . SOUTH ) } answers { println ( list . captured ()) Outcome . RECORDED } obj . recordTelemetry ( speed = 15 , direction = Direction . NORTH ) // prints 15 obj . recordTelemetry ( speed = 16 , direction = Direction . SOUTH ) // prints 16 verify ( exactly = 2 ) { obj . recordTelemetry ( speed = or ( 15 , 16 ), direction = any ()) } confirmVerified ( obj )

Verification atLeast, atMost or exactly times

You can check call count with atLeast , atMost or exactly parameters:

val car = mockk < Car >( relaxed = true ) car . accelerate ( fromSpeed = 10 , toSpeed = 20 ) car . accelerate ( fromSpeed = 10 , toSpeed = 30 ) car . accelerate ( fromSpeed = 20 , toSpeed = 30 ) // all pass verify ( atLeast = 3 ) { car . accelerate ( allAny ()) } verify ( atMost = 2 ) { car . accelerate ( fromSpeed = 10 , toSpeed = or ( 20 , 30 )) } verify ( exactly = 1 ) { car . accelerate ( fromSpeed = 10 , toSpeed = 20 ) } verify ( exactly = 0 ) { car . accelerate ( fromSpeed = 30 , toSpeed = 10 ) } // means no calls were performed confirmVerified ( car )

Verification order

verifyAll verifies that all calls happened without checking its order. verifySequence verifies that the exact sequence happened and verifyOrder that calls happened in order. wasNot Called verifies that mock or list of mocks was not called at all.

class MockedClass { fun sum ( a : Int , b : Int ) = a + b } val obj = mockk < MockedClass >() val slot = slot < Int >() every { obj . sum ( any (), capture ( slot )) } answers { 1 + firstArg < Int >() + slot . captured } obj . sum ( 1 , 2 ) // returns 4 obj . sum ( 1 , 3 ) // returns 5 obj . sum ( 2 , 2 ) // returns 5 verifyAll { obj . sum ( 1 , 3 ) obj . sum ( 1 , 2 ) obj . sum ( 2 , 2 ) } verifySequence { obj . sum ( 1 , 2 ) obj . sum ( 1 , 3 ) obj . sum ( 2 , 2 ) } verifyOrder { obj . sum ( 1 , 2 ) obj . sum ( 2 , 2 ) } val obj2 = mockk < MockedClass >() val obj3 = mockk < MockedClass >() verify { listOf ( obj2 , obj3 ) wasNot Called } confirmVerified ( obj )

Verification confirmation

To double check that all calls were verified by verify... constructs you can use confirmVerified :

confirmVerified(mock1, mock2)

There is no big sense to use it for verifySequence and verifyAll as this verification methods already exhasutively cover all calls with verification.

It will throw exception in case some calls left without verification.

Some calls may be skipped from such confirmation, check next section for more details.

val car = mockk<Car>() every { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } returns Outcome.OK every { car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) } returns Outcome.OK car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns OK car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) // returns OK verify { car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } confirmVerified(car) // makes sure all calls were covered with verification

Recording exclusions

To exclude some not so important calls from being recorded you can use excludeRecords :

excludeRecords { mock.operation(any(), 5) }

All matching calls will be excluded from recording. This may be useful in case you are using exhaustive verification: verifyAll , verifySequence or confirmVerified .

val car = mockk<Car>() every { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } returns Outcome.OK every { car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) } returns Outcome.OK excludeRecords { car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) } car.drive(Direction.NORTH) // returns OK car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) // returns OK verify { car.drive(Direction.NORTH) } confirmVerified(car) // car.drive(Direction.SOUTH) was excluded, so confirmation is fine with only car.drive(Direction.NORTH)

Verification timeout

To verify concurrent operations you can use timeout = xxx :

mockk < MockCls > { every { sum ( 1 , 2 ) } returns 4 Thread { Thread . sleep ( 2000 ) sum ( 1 , 2 ) }. start () verify ( timeout = 3000 ) { sum ( 1 , 2 ) } }

This will will wait one of two states: either verification is passed or timeout is reached.

Returning Unit

If the function is returning Unit you can use just Runs construct:

class MockedClass { fun sum ( a : Int , b : Int ): Unit { println ( a + b ) } } val obj = mockk < MockedClass >() every { obj . sum ( any (), 3 ) } just Runs obj . sum ( 1 , 1 ) obj . sum ( 1 , 2 ) obj . sum ( 1 , 3 ) verify { obj . sum ( 1 , 1 ) obj . sum ( 1 , 2 ) obj . sum ( 1 , 3 ) }

Coroutines

To mock coroutines you need to add dependency to the support library.

Gradle testCompile "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:x.x"

Maven <dependency> <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlinx</groupId> <artifactId>kotlinx-coroutines-core</artifactId> <version>x.x</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>

Then you can use coEvery , coVerify , coMatch , coAssert , coRun , coAnswers or coInvoke to mock suspend functions

val car = mockk < Car >() coEvery { car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) } returns Outcome . OK car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) // returns OK coVerify { car . drive ( Direction . NORTH ) }

Extension functions

There a 3 cases of extension function:

class wide

object wide

module wide

In case of object and class you can mock extension function just by creating regular mockk :

data class Obj ( val value : Int ) class Ext { fun Obj . extensionFunc () = value + 5 } with ( mockk < Ext >()) { every { Obj ( 5 ). extensionFunc () } returns 11 assertEquals ( 11 , Obj ( 5 ). extensionFunc ()) verify { Obj ( 5 ). extensionFunc () } }

To mock module wide extension function you need to build mockkStatic(…) with argument specifying module class name. For example “pkg.FileKt” for module “File.kt” in “pkg” package

data class Obj ( val value : Int ) // declared in File.kt ("pkg" package) fun Obj . extensionFunc () = value + 5 mockkStatic ( "pkg.FileKt" ) every { Obj ( 5 ). extensionFunc () } returns 11 assertEquals ( 11 , Obj ( 5 ). extensionFunc ()) verify { Obj ( 5 ). extensionFunc () }

When @JvmName is used just use it as a classname.

KHttp.kt:

@ file : JvmName ( "KHttp" ) package khttp // ... KHttp code

Testing code:

mockkStatic("khttp.KHttp")

Sometimes you need to know a little bit more to mock extension function. For example File.endsWith() extension function has totally unpredictable classname :

mockkStatic ( "kotlin.io.FilesKt__UtilsKt" ) every { File ( "abc" ). endsWith ( any < String >()) } returns true println ( File ( "abc" ). endsWith ( "abc" ))

This is standard Kotlin behaviour that may be unpredictable for user of mocking library. Use Tools -> Kotlin -> Show Kotlin Bytecode or check .class files in JAR archive to detect such names.

Varargs

From version 1.9.1 more extended vararg handling is possible:

interface ClsWithManyMany { fun manyMany ( vararg x : Any ): Int } val obj = mockk < ClsWithManyMany >() every { obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , * varargAll { it == 7 }) } returns 3 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 7 )) // 3 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 7 , 7 )) // 3 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 7 , 7 , 7 )) // 3 every { obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , * anyVararg (), 7 ) } returns 4 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 1 , 7 )) // 4 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 2 , 3 , 7 )) // 4 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 )) // 4 every { obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , * varargAny { nArgs > 5 }, 7 ) } returns 5 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 )) // 5 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 7 )) // 5 every { obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , * varargAny { if ( position < 3 ) it == 3 else it == 4 }, 7 ) } returns 6 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 3 , 4 , 7 )) // 6 println ( obj . manyMany ( 5 , 6 , 3 , 4 , 4 , 7 )) // 6

Private functions mocking / dynamic calls

In case you have a need to mock private function, you can do it via dynamic call.

class Car { fun drive () = accelerate () private fun accelerate () = "going faster" } val mock = spyk < Car >( recordPrivateCalls = true ) every { mock [ "accelerate" ]() } returns "going not so fast" assertEquals ( "going not so fast" , mock . drive ()) verifySequence { mock . drive () mock [ "accelerate" ]() }

In case you want private calls to be verified, you should create spyk with recordPrivateCalls = true

Additionally more verbose syntax allows to get and set properties, do same dynamic calls:

val mock = spyk ( Team (), recordPrivateCalls = true ) every { mock getProperty "speed" } returns 33 every { mock setProperty "acceleration" value less ( 5 ) } just Runs every { mock invoke "openDoor" withArguments listOf ( "left" , "rear" ) } returns "OK" verify { mock getProperty "speed" } verify { mock setProperty "acceleration" value less ( 5 ) } verify { mock invoke "openDoor" withArguments listOf ( "left" , "rear" ) }

Property backing fields

You can access fields backing properties via fieldValue and use value for value being set.

Note in examples below usage of propertyType to specify type of fieldValue . This is needed because it is possible to capture type automatically only for getter. Use nullablePropertyType to specify nullable type.

val mock = spyk ( MockCls (), recordPrivateCalls = true ) every { mock . property } answers { fieldValue + 6 } every { mock . property = any () } propertyType Int :: class answers { fieldValue += value } every { mock getProperty "property" } propertyType Int :: class answers { fieldValue + 6 } every { mock setProperty "property" value any < Int >() } propertyType Int :: class answers { fieldValue += value } every { mock . property = any () } propertyType Int :: class answers { fieldValue = value + 1 } andThen { fieldValue = value - 1 }

More interfaces

Adding additional behaviours via interfaces and stubbing them:

val spy = spyk ( System . out , moreInterfaces = Runnable :: class ) spy . println ( 555 ) every { ( spy as Runnable ). run () } answers { ( self as PrintStream ). println ( "Run! Run! Run!" ) } val thread = Thread ( spy as Runnable ) thread . start () thread . join ()

Mocking nothing

Nothing special here. If you have a function returning Nothing :

fun quit ( status : Int ): Nothing { exitProcess ( status ) }

Then you need to throw some exception as a behaviour:

every { quit ( 1 ) } throws Exception ( "this is a test" )

Settings file

To adjust parameters globaly there is a posibility to specify few settings in a resource file.

How to use:

create io/mockk/settings.properties file in resources. Put one of following options: relaxed = true|false relaxUnitFun = true|false recordPrivateCalls = true|false

DSL tables

Here are few tables helping to master the DSL.
