Lack of any*() static methods in Mockito 1. How to replace them reasonably?

Question

I have following jar in my project and I haven't seen any problems up to now:

mockito-all-1.10.19.jar

Due to project maturity I am not able to shift to newer Mockito version.

I am lacking any*() methods that I need: these are anyObject() and anyString(). These are static methods of Mockito 2.2.7 API. Are they missing in 1.10 version and subversions.

Source: https://static.javadoc.io/org.mockito/mockito-core/2.2.7/org/mockito/ArgumentMatchers.html#anyList()

How can I replace those methods - maybe there had been present some deprecated methods I could use?

Answer 1

You should use:

any(Object.class);
any(String.class);

https://static.javadoc.io/org.mockito/mockito-core/1.10.19/org/mockito/Matchers.html#any(java.lang.Class)

Since Mockito extends Matchers you can get all the matchers with:

import static org.mockito.Mockito.*

... which is the style recommended by Mockito.
