How to use Mockito to show all invocations on a mock

Question

I have a unit test that is failing and I'm unsure why. I want to be able to see all invocations on the mock that occur in the System Under Test. This is not the behavior that I want for all tests always, simply for a test that I need to quickly tweak to be able to figure out what's wrong.

However, it seems kind of like a hack. Is it possible to do this natively in Mockito, without having to use Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()?

This is not preferred, because the stack trace includes all the other invocations used internally by Mockito.

Answer 1

This feature is builtin since Mockito 1.9.5. Just use

mock(ClassToMock.class, withSettings().verboseLogging()) 

Answer 2

From Mockito 2.2.6 you can inspect a mock with MockingDetails Mockito.mockingDetails(Object mockToInspect).

You can either dig into the MockingDetails properties by invoking : getMock(), getStubbings(), getInvocations() and so for ... or simply use the printInvocations() method that returns :

a printing-friendly list of the invocations that occurred with the mock object. Additionally, this method prints stubbing information, including unused stubbings. For more information about unused stubbing detection see MockitoHint.

For example with JUnit 5 :

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtendWith;
import org.mockito.junit.jupiter.MockitoExtension;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;

@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
public class FooTest {

    Foo foo;

    @Mock
    Bar bar;

    @Test
    void doThat() throws Exception {
        
        Mockito.when(bar.getValue())
               .thenReturn(1000L);          

        // ACTION
        foo.doThat();

        // ASSERTION
        // ...

        // add that to debug the bar mock           
        System.out.println(mockingDetails(bar).printInvocations());
    }
}

And you get an output such as :

[Mockito] Interactions of: Mock for Bar, hashCode: 962287291
 1. bar.getValue();
  -> at Foo.doThat() (Foo.java:15) 
   - stubbed -> at FooTest.doThat(FooTest.java:18)

Note that the classes with a referenced line in the output are links to your source code/test class. Very practical.
