I am new to Mockito as well as Spring's RestTemplate. I am working on JUnit tests for a functionality which sends a request to a web-service and gets the response through the use of RestTemplate. I want the server to respond with a response that i want so that i can test the functionalities based on this response. I am using Mockito for mocking.
I am not sure where I am going wrong. Am I not creating proper mocks? Is my JSON object mapper not been configured properly?
Configuration file defining the RestTemplate bean:

My DTO's:
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonWriteNullProperties;
@JsonWriteNullProperties(false)
public abstract class BaseDTO {
protected boolean error;
public boolean isError() {
return error;
}
public void setError(boolean error) {
this.error = error;
}
}
public class ChildDTO extends CommercialBaseDTO {
private String fullName;
public String getFullName() {
return fullName;
}
public void setFullName(String fullName) {
this.fullName = fullName;
}
}
Class containing the method to test:
package com.exmpale.mypackage;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;
@Component
public class MyUtilClass {
@Autowired
private RestTemplate restTemplate;
public RestTemplate getRestTemplate(){
return restTemplate;
}
public void setRestTemplate(RestTemplate restTemplate){
this.restTemplate = restTemplate;
}
// Method to test
public ChildDTO getChildDTO(MyUser myUser, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
{
response.setContentType("application/json");
//Nothing much here, it takes the myUser and convert into childDTO
ChildDTO childDTO = new MyUtilClass().getDTOFromUser(request, myUser);
//This is the restTemplate that iam trying to mock.
childDTO = restTemplate.postForObject("http://www.google.com", childDTO, ChildDTO.class);
if (childDTO.isError()) {
//Then do some stuff.........
}
return childDTO;
}
}
The JUnit test class
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"test-config.xml"})
public class MyUtilClassTest {
@InjectMocks
RestTemplate restTemplate= new RestTemplate();
private MockRestServiceServer mockServer;
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
//Creating the mock server

MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter jsonMessageConverter = new MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter();
jsonMessageConverter.setObjectMapper(objectMapper);
messageConverters.add(jsonMessageConverter);
//Set the message converters
restTemplate.setMessageConverters(messageConverters);
mockServer = MockRestServiceServer.createServer(restTemplate);
}
@Test
public void testGetChildDTO()throws Exception {
MyUtilClass myUtil = new MyUtilClass();
MyUser myUser = new MyUser();
HttpServletRequest request = new HttpServletRequestWrapper(new MockHttpServletRequest());
HttpServletResponse response = new HttpServletResponseWrapper(new MockHttpServletResponse());
//create the mocks for ChildDTO. I want MyUtilClass().getDTOFromUser(request, myUser) to return this.
ChildDTO childDTOMock_One = Mockito.mock(ChildDTO);
//Want this to be returned when restTemplate.postForObject() is called.
ChildDTO childDTOMock_Two = Mockito.mock(ChildDTO.class);
childDTOMock_Two.setError(false);
//create the mocks for userMgntUtils
MyUtilClass myUtilClassMock = Mockito.mock(MyUtilClass.class);
//stub the method getDTOFromUser() to return the mock object. I need this mock to be passed to 'postForObject()'
Mockito.when(myUtilClassMock.getDTOFromUser(request, myUser)).thenReturn(childDTOMock_One);
String responseJSON="{\"error\":false}";
//set the expectation values for mockServer
mockServer.expect( requestTo("http://www.google.com")).andExpect(method(HttpMethod.POST)).andRespond(withSuccess(responseJSON,MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
//set the expectation values for restTemplate
Mockito.when(restTemplate.postForObject( "http://www.google.com", childDTOMock_One, ChildDTO.class)).thenReturn(childDTOMock_Two);
TypedUserDTO result = userMgmtUtils.getUserProfileDTO(registerUser, request, response, action);
assertNotNull(result);
}
}
