Why i get nullPointerException despite if i remove observer and use mLivedata.getValue() and assertNotNull(mLiveData) it works well?
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
public class LoginRepositoryTest {
//Data
LoginRepository loginRepository;
@Rule
InstantTaskExecutorRule rule = new InstantTaskExecutorRule();
@Mock
AppExecutors appExecutors;
@Mock
LoginService loginService;
@Mock
Observer<Resource<Session>> loginObserver;
@Mock
ApiResponse<Session> loginResponse;
@Mock
ArgumentCaptor<Resource<Session>> resultLDCaptor;
@Before
public void setUp(){
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
RxAndroidPlugins.setInitMainThreadSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> Schedulers.trampoline());
loginRepository=spy(new LoginRepository(appExecutors,loginService));
}
@Test
public void testLoginSuccess(){
//Prepare Login service
MutableLiveData<ApiResponse<Session>> serviceLD=spy(new MutableLiveData<>());
when(loginService.login(mock(RequestBody.class))).thenReturn(serviceLD);
//Perform Login
loginRepository.login(mock(RequestBody.class)).observeForever(loginObserver);
//capture any value
verify(loginObserver).onChanged(resultLDCaptor.capture());
//Now value must be Resource.Loading
assertNotNull(resultLDCaptor.getValue());
assertTrue(resultLDCaptor.getValue().isLoading());
//Now return fake data from server
when(loginResponse.isSuccessful()).thenReturn(true);
loginResponse.data=mock(Session.class);
serviceLD.postValue(loginResponse);
}
And the error

Make sure that whatever live data is being observed by the MediatorLiveData is not null:
myMediatorLiveData.addSource(repository.getLiveData(), ...);
^^^^^^^^^^^
In my case, repository.getLiveData()
returned null because repository
is mocked. In your test you can easily return a live data instance by using mockito, for example:
MutableLiveData<...> liveData = new MutableLiveData<>();
when(repository.getLiveData()).thenReturn(liveData);
