Package org.mockito.configuration

Interface IMockitoConfiguration

All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultMockitoConfiguration, GlobalConfiguration
public interface IMockitoConfiguration
Use it to configure Mockito. For now there are not many configuration options but it may change in future.

In most cases you don't really need to configure Mockito. For example in case of working with legacy code, when you might want to have different 'mocking style' this interface might be helpful. A reason of configuring Mockito might be if you disagree with the Answers.RETURNS_DEFAULTS un-stubbed mocks return.

To configure Mockito create exactly org.mockito.configuration.MockitoConfiguration class that implements this interface.

Configuring Mockito is completely optional - nothing happens if there isn't any org.mockito.configuration.MockitoConfiguration on the classpath.

org.mockito.configuration.MockitoConfiguration must implement IMockitoConfiguration or extend DefaultMockitoConfiguration

Mockito will store single instance of org.mockito.configuration.MockitoConfiguration per thread (using ThreadLocal). For sanity of your tests, don't make the implementation stateful.

    • cleansStackTrace

      boolean cleansStackTrace()
      This should be turned on unless you're a Mockito developer and you wish to have verbose (read: messy) stack traces that only few understand (eg: Mockito developers)

      Returns:
      if Mockito should clean stack traces
