Annotation Type DoNotMock

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented public @interface DoNotMock
Annotation representing a type that should not be mocked.

When marking a type @DoNotMock, you should always point to alternative testing solutions such as standard fakes or other testing utilities. Mockito enforces @DoNotMock with the DoNotMockEnforcer. If you want to use a custom @DoNotMock annotation, the DoNotMockEnforcer will match on annotations with a type ending in "org.mockito.DoNotMock". You can thus place your custom annotation in com.my.package.org.mockito.DoNotMock and Mockito will enforce that types annotated by @com.my.package.org.mockito.DoNotMock can not be mocked. 


 @DoNotMock(reason = "Use a real instance instead")
 class DoNotMockMe {}
