Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
org.mockito.exceptions.PrintableInvocation
org.mockito.ReturnValues Instead, please use Answer interface In rare cases your code might not compile with recent deprecation & changes. Very sorry for inconvenience but it had to be done in order to keep framework consistent. Why it is deprecated? ReturnValues is being replaced by Answer for better consistency & interoperability of the framework. Answer interface has been in Mockito for a while and it has the same responsibility as ReturnValues. There's no point in mainting exactly the same interfaces. Configures return values for an unstubbed invocation Can be used in Mockito.mock(Class, ReturnValues)

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
org.mockito.BDDMockito.BDDOngoingStubbingImpl not part of the public API, use BDDMockito.BDDMyOngoingStubbing instead.
org.mockito.BDDMockito.BDDStubberImpl not part of the public API, use BDDMockito.BDDStubber instead.
org.mockito.exceptions.Discrepancy
org.mockito.exceptions.verification.junit.JUnitTool
org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnit44Runner
org.mockito.junit.MockitoJUnitRule
org.mockito.exceptions.Pluralizer
org.mockito.stubbing.answers.ReturnsElementsOf Use AdditionalAnswers.returnsElementsOf(java.util.Collection<?>)

Deprecated Enums

Enum and Description
org.mockito.internal.stubbing.defaultanswers.Answers - please use Answers from top Mockito package: Answers WARNING Those answers no longer are used by the framework!!! Please use Answers See Mockito for more information.

Deprecated Annotation Types

Annotation Type and Description
org.mockito.MockitoAnnotations.Mock

Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.mockito.verification.VerificationWithTimeout.atMost(int) Deprecated Validation with timeout combined with never simply does not make sense, as atMost() will typically immediately pass, and therefore not wait the timeout. The behaviour you may be looking for is actually provided by after().atMost(). To avoid compilation errors upon upgrade the method is deprecated and it throws a "friendly reminder" exception. In a future release we will remove timeout(x).atMost(y) and timeout(x).never() from the API. Do you want to find out more? See issue 235
org.mockito.configuration.AnnotationEngine.createMockFor(Annotation, Field) Please use AnnotationEngine.process(Class, Object) method instead that is more robust Creates mock, ArgumentCaptor or wraps field instance in spy object. Only if of correct annotation type.
org.mockito.internal.configuration.InjectingAnnotationEngine.createMockFor(Annotation, Field)
org.mockito.Answers.get() Use the enum-constant directly, instead of this getter. This method will be removed in a future release E.g. instead of Answers.CALLS_REAL_METHODS.get() use Answers.CALLS_REAL_METHODS .
org.mockito.configuration.IMockitoConfiguration.getReturnValues() Please use IMockitoConfiguration.getDefaultAnswer() Steps: 1. Leave the implementation of getReturnValues() method empty - it's not going to be used anyway. 2. Implement getDefaultAnswer() instead. In rare cases your code might not compile with recent deprecation & changes. Very sorry for inconvenience but it had to be done in order to keep framework consistent. See javadoc ReturnValues for info why this method was deprecated Allows configuring the default return values of unstubbed invocations See javadoc for IMockitoConfiguration
org.mockito.configuration.DefaultMockitoConfiguration.getReturnValues()
org.mockito.Mockito.mock(Class, ReturnValues) Please use mock(Foo.class, defaultAnswer);
org.mockito.verification.VerificationWithTimeout.never() Validation with timeout combined with never simply does not make sense, as never() will typically immediately pass, and therefore not wait the timeout. The behaviour you may be looking for is actually provided by after().never(). To avoid compilation errors upon upgrade the method is deprecated and it throws a "friendly reminder" exception. In a future release we will remove timeout(x).atMost(y) and timeout(x).never() from the API. Do you want to find out more? See issue 235
org.mockito.Mockito.stubVoid(T) Use Mockito.doThrow(Throwable) method for stubbing voids

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor and Description
org.mockito.ArgumentCaptor() Please use factory method ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Class) to create captors This is required to avoid NullPointerExceptions when autoUnboxing primitive types. See issue 99. Example: ArgumentCaptor<Person> argument = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Person.class); verify(mock).doSomething(argument.capture()); assertEquals("John", argument.getValue().getName());
org.mockito.junit.MockitoJUnitRule()
