_x000D_ _x000D_ How to mock methods with void return type? I implemented an observer pattern but I can't mock it with Mockito because I don't know how. And I tried to find an example on the Internet, but didn't succeed. My class looks like this: public class World { List listeners; void addListener(Listener item) { listeners.add(item); } void doAction(Action goal,Object obj) { setState("i received"); goal.doAction(obj); setState("i finished"); } private string state; //setter getter state } public class WorldTest implements Listener { @Test public void word{ World w= mock(World.class); w.addListener(this); ... ... } } interface Listener { void doAction(); } The system are not triggered with mock. =( I want to show above mentioned system state. And make assertion according to them.

_x000D_ Take a look at the Mockito API docs. As the linked document mentions (Point # 12) you can use any of the doThrow(),doAnswer(),doNothing(),doReturn() family of methods from Mockito framework to mock void methods. For example, Mockito.doThrow(new Exception()).when(instance).methodName(); or if you want to combine it with follow-up behavior, Mockito.doThrow(new Exception()).doNothing().when(instance).methodName(); Presuming that you are looking at mocking the setter setState(String s) in the class World below is the code uses doAnswer method to mock the setState. World mockWorld = mock(World.class); doAnswer(new Answer() { public Void answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) { Object[] args = invocation.getArguments(); System.out.println("called with arguments: " + Arrays.toString(args)); return null; } }).when(mockWorld).setState(anyString());
