Interface MockitoPlugins

public interface MockitoPlugins

Instance of this interface is available via MockitoFramework.getPlugins(). This object enables framework integrators to get access to default Mockito plugins.

Example use case: one needs to implement custom MockMaker and delegate some behavior to the default Mockito implementation. The interface was introduced to help framework integrations.

Since:

2.10.0

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<T> T	getDefaultPlugin(Class<T> pluginType) Returns the default plugin implementation used by Mockito.
MockMaker	getInlineMockMaker() Returns inline mock maker, an optional mock maker that is bundled with Mockito distribution.

Method Detail

getDefaultPlugin

<T> T getDefaultPlugin(Class<T> pluginType)

Returns the default plugin implementation used by Mockito. Mockito plugins are stateless so it is recommended to keep hold of the returned plugin implementation rather than calling this method multiple times. Each time this method is called, new instance of the plugin is created.

Parameters:

pluginType - type of the plugin, for example MockMaker.

Returns:

the plugin instance

Since:

2.10.0

getInlineMockMaker

MockMaker getInlineMockMaker()

Returns inline mock maker, an optional mock maker that is bundled with Mockito distribution. This method is needed because getDefaultPlugin(Class) does not provide an instance of inline mock maker. Creates new instance each time is called so it is recommended to keep hold of the resulting object for future invocations. For more information about inline mock maker see the javadoc for main Mockito class.

Returns:

instance of inline mock maker
