Mockito Test With java.lang.NullPointerException

Question

I created a Spring Boot 2 application with Junit 4 and Mockito. When I test some method. there will be an exception like this :

java.lang.NullPointerException at com.xxx.service.SurveyServiceTest.getSurveyList(SurveyServiceTest.java:41) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:50) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:12) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(FrameworkMethod.java:47) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.InvokeMethod.evaluate(InvokeMethod.java:17) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runLeaf(ParentRunner.java:325) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:78) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:57) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:290) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:71) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:288) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:58) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:268) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:363) at org.mockito.internal.runners.DefaultInternalRunner$1.run(DefaultInternalRunner.java:79) at org.mockito.internal.runners.DefaultInternalRunner.run(DefaultInternalRunner.java:85) at org.mockito.internal.runners.StrictRunner.run(StrictRunner.java:39) at org.mockito.junit.MockitoJUnitRunner.run(MockitoJUnitRunner.java:163) at org.junit.runner.JUnitCore.run(JUnitCore.java:137) at com.intellij.junit4.JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.startRunnerWithArgs(JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.java:68) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.IdeaTestRunner$Repeater.startRunnerWithArgs(IdeaTestRunner.java:47) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.prepareStreamsAndStart(JUnitStarter.java:242) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.main(JUnitStarter.java:70)

Here is my test code

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class SurveyServiceTest {

    @MockBean
    SurveyRepository repostory;

    @InjectMocks
    SurveyService service;

    @Test
    public void getSurveyList() {
        when(repostory.findAll()).thenReturn(Arrays.asList( new Survey(new Long(1),101,"Test1"),
                new Survey(new Long(2),102,"Test2")  ));
        assertTrue(service.getSurveyList().size() >0);
    }
}

    public Optional<Survey> getSurveyById() {
        return repostory.findById((long) 1);
    }

    }

    public Survey update() {
        Survey survey = new Survey();
        survey.setSurveyID(1);
        survey.setSurveyContent("gggg1");
        return repostory.save(survey);
    }

    public void delete() {
        repostory.deleteById((long) 1);
    }

    public List<Survey> findBySurveyContent() {
        return repostory.findBySurveyContent("gggg1");
    }

    public int updateBySurveyId(){
        return repostory.updateBySurveyId("hhhhhh", 1);
    }
}

SurveyRepository.java

    public interface SurveyRepository  extends JpaRepository<Survey, Long> {

    public List<Survey> findBySurveyContent(String surveyContent);

    @Query(value = "update XXX_DATA.SURVEYS set SURVEYCONTENT=? where SURVEYID=?",nativeQuery = true)  
    @Modifying
    @Transactional

I referenced this article Mockito NullPointerException, but the issue still existed. Any help will be appcirated.

@MockBean is a Spring annotation, which only has an effect if you create a Spring boot integration test, run with the SpringRunner.

You have a unit test here, run with MockitoJUnitRunner, and you just want Mockito to create your mock repository. The correct annotation is @Mock.

You sould do that :

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class SurveyServiceTest {

    @Mock// and not MockBean
    SurveyRepository repostory;

    @InjectMocks
    SurveyService service;

    @Test
    public void getSurveyList() {
        when(repostory.findAll()).thenReturn(Arrays.asList( new Survey(new Long(1),101,"Test1"),
                new Survey(new Long(2),102,"Test2")  ));
        assertTrue(service.getSurveyList().size() >0);
    }
}

To extend the above answers, Since @MockBean is a spring annotation, you can use the below code as an alternative. @MockBean is used to add mock objects to the Spring application context. The mock will replace any existing bean of the same type in the application context. So it is a kind of functionality of both @Mock as well as @InjectMock. Also if you not following JUnit 5 you require to replace @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) with @ExtendWith(SpringExtention.class)

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class SurveyServiceTest {

    @MockBean
    SurveyRepository repostory;

    @Test
    public void getSurveyList() {
        when(repostory.findAll()).thenReturn(Arrays.asList( new Survey(new 
         Long(1),101,"Test1"),
            new Survey(new Long(2),102,"Test2")  ));
         assertTrue(service.getSurveyList().size() >0);
}

}
