Cannot use custom spring converter in unit test





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I am using simple converter for converting string to enum. Here is the custom converter:



@Component
public class SessionStateConverter implements Converter<String, UserSessionState> {

@Override
public UserSessionState convert(String source) {
try {
return UserSessionState.valueOf(source.toUpperCase());
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.debug(String.format("Invalid UserSessionState value was provided: %s", source), e);

return null;
}
}
}


Currently I am using UserSessionState as PathVariable in my rest controller. The implementation works as expected. However when I try to unit test the rest controller it seems that conversion does not work and it does not hit the controller method.



@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class MyTest {
private MockMvc mockMvc;

@Mock
private FormattingConversionService conversionService;

@InjectMocks
private MynController controller;


@Before
public void setup() {
conversionService.addConverter(new SessionStateConverter());
mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(controller).setConversionService(conversionService).build();
}


@Test
public void testSetLoginUserState() throws Exception {
mockMvc.perform(post("/api/user/login"));
}


}



In debug mode I get following error:



nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'rest.api.UserSessionState': no matching editors or conversion strategy found


In my opinion the mock for conversion service does not work.
Any ideas?

          So this:



          conversionService.addConverter(new SessionStateConverter());


          calls addConverter on mock. This does nothing useful for you.



          I believe you want to use real FormattingConversionService: to do it you need to remove @Mock annotation from conversionService field and use a real instance of FormattingConversionService instead:



          private FormattingConversionService conversionService = new FormattingConversionService();




          If you need to track invocations on real objects as you would do on mock check out : @Spy
