Mockito verify skip a number of calls?

I want to check the parameter passed to a method ... but the check has to be done on the 3rd time this method gets called.

I thought the answer might be to go:

verify( myMock, times( 2 ) ).myMethod( any() );
verify( myMock ).myMethod( paramIWant );

... but it fails on the first line:

But was 5 times. Undesired invocation:

... because there are indeed 2 more calls after the one I'm interested in.

Solution

  • Use an argument captor for this. You can pass the captor in when you verify, then get out all the values that were passed as a parameter to this method and check whichever you want.

    ArgumentCaptor<SomeClass> myCaptor = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(SomeClass.class);
verify(myMock,times(5)).myMethod(myCaptor.capture());

List<SomeClass> paramsPassed = myCaptor.getAllValues();
assertEquals(paramIWant, paramsPassed.get(2));
