Mockito Skill

This skill defines how to correctly use the mockito package for mocking in Dart and Flutter tests.

1. Mock vs. Fake vs. Real Object

• Data models should not be mocked if they can be constructed with stubbed data.
• Only use mocks if your test has verify assertions; otherwise prefer real or fake objects.

2. Generating Mocks

@GenerateMocks([MyClass])
// or for nice mocks (return simple legal values for missing stubs):
@GenerateNiceMocks([MockSpec<MyClass>()])
void main() { ... }

dart run build_runner build

• Only annotate files under test/ for mock generation by default.
• Use a build.yaml if you need to generate mocks outside of test/.
• Never add @override methods or implementations to a class extending Mock.
• Never stub responses in a mock's constructor or inside the mock class — always stub in your tests.

3. Stubbing

final mock = MockCat();

// Return a value
when(mock.sound()).thenReturn('Meow');

// Throw an error
when(mock.sound()).thenThrow(Exception('No sound'));

// Calculate response at call time
when(mock.sound()).thenAnswer((_) => computedValue);

// Return values in sequence
when(mock.sound()).thenReturnInOrder(['Meow', 'Purr']);

• Always stub methods/getters before using them if you need specific return values.
• Missing stub behavior: @GenerateMocks → throws; @GenerateNiceMocks → returns a simple legal value.
• Use throwOnMissingStub(mock) to throw on any unstubbed call.

4. Verification

verify(mock.sound());                  // called at least once
verifyNever(mock.eat(any));            // never called
verify(mock.sound()).called(2);        // called exactly twice

Async:

await untilCalled(mock.sound());       // wait for the interaction

5. Argument Matchers

// Flexible stubbing
when(mock.eat(any)).thenReturn(true);
when(mock.eat(argThat(isNotNull))).thenReturn(true);

// Named arguments
when(mock.fetch(any, headers: any)).thenReturn(response);

• Do not use null as an argument adjacent to an argument matcher.
• For named arguments, use any or argThat as values, not as argument names.

6. Capturing Arguments

final captured = verify(mock.eat(captureAny)).captured;
print(captured.last); // last captured argument

Use captureThat for conditional capturing.

7. Resetting Mocks

reset(mock);                  // clear all stubs AND interactions
clearInteractions(mock);      // clear only recorded interactions

8. Mocking Function Types

To mock a function type (e.g., a callback), define an abstract class with the required signature and generate mocks for it:

abstract class Callback {
  void call(String value);
}

@GenerateMocks([Callback])

9. Debugging

logInvocations([mock1, mock2]); // print all collected invocations
