Interface InlineMockMaker

All Superinterfaces:

MockMaker

public interface InlineMockMaker
extends MockMaker

Extension to MockMaker for mock makers that changes inline method implementations and need keep track of created mock objects.

Mockito's default inline mock maker keeps track of created mock objects via weak reference map. This poses a risk of memory leaks in certain scenarios (issue #1619). There is no clean way to tackle those problems at the moment. Hence, InlineMockMaker interface exposes methods to explicitly clear mock references. Those methods are called by MockitoFramework.clearInlineMocks(). When the user encounters a leak, he can mitigate the problem with MockitoFramework.clearInlineMocks().

InlineMockMaker is for expert users and framework integrators, when custom inline mock maker is in use. If you have a custom MockMaker that keeps track of mock objects, please have your mock maker implement InlineMockMaker interface. This way, it can participate in MockitoFramework.clearInlineMocks() API.
