Mocking the Qualified beans using mockito for a spring-boot application

Question

consider my scenario

public class SomeClass {
  @Autowired @Qualifier("converter1") private IConverter converter1;
  @Autowired @Qualifier("converter2") private IConverter converter2;

  public void doSomeAction(String mimeType) {
    converter1.execute();
    converter2.execute();
  }
}

This is my code.

In order to test this

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class SomeClassTest {
  @Mock(name="converter1") IConverter converter1;
  @Mock(name="converter2") IConverter converter2;
  @InjectMocks SomeClass class = new SomeClass();
  @Test
  public void testGetListOfExcelConverters() throws Exception {
    class.doSomeAction("abcd");
  }
}

Here the mocks are not getting injected, please help with the proper mechanism for mocking a qualified beans.

If this is not the right way to code using spring, please let me know the correct method for using this.

Not sure what error you are getting, but your test class doesn't compile because you have what looks like you intend to be a variable name using the keyword class. This worked for me:

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class SomeClassTest {
    @Mock(name="converter1") IConverter converter1;
    @Mock(name="converter2") IConverter converter2;

    @InjectMocks
    SomeClass clazz = new SomeClass();

    @Test
    public void testGetListOfExcelConverters() throws Exception {
        clazz.doSomeAction("abcd");
        verify(converter1).execute();
        verify(converter2).execute();
    }
}

And by "worked for me" I mean that the test actually ran and passed. Note I added a couple of verify statements to assert that the injected mocks got called.

I used the SomeClass code you provided as-is.
