mockito return sequence of objects on spy method

Question

I know you can set several different objects to be be returned on a mock. Ex.

when(someObject.getObject()).thenReturn(object1,object2,object3); 

Can you do the same thing with a spied object somehow? I tried the above on a spy with no luck. I read in the docs to use doReturn() on a spy like below

doReturn("foo").when(spy).get(0); 

But deReturn() only accepts one parameter. I'd like to return different objects in a specific order on a spy. Is this possible?

I have a class like the following and i'm trying to test it. I want to test myClass, not anotherClass

public class myClass{      //class code that needs several instances of `anotherClass`      public anotherClass getObject(){         return new anotherClass();     } } 

Answer 1

You can chain doReturn() calls before when(), so this works (mockito 1.9.5):

private static class Meh {     public String meh() { return "meh"; } }  @Test public void testMeh() {     final Meh meh = spy(new Meh());      doReturn("foo").doReturn("bar").doCallRealMethod().when(meh).meh();      assertEquals("foo", meh.meh());     assertEquals("bar", meh.meh());     assertEquals("meh", meh.meh()); } 

Also, I didn't know you could do when(x.y()).thenReturn(z1,z2), when I have to do this I use chained .thenReturn() calls as well:

when(x.y()).thenReturn(z1).thenThrow().thenReturn(z2)
