Mockito is a popular Java library for creating mock objects for testing purposes. To pass a date to a method that is being mocked using Mockito, you can use the ArgumentMatcher class.
Here's an example of how to use an ArgumentMatcher to pass a date to a mocked method:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
import org.mockito.ArgumentMatcher; // Create a custom argument matcher for the Date type ArgumentMatcher<Date> dateArgumentMatcher = new ArgumentMatcher<Date>() { @Override public boolean matches(Date argument) { // Return true if the argument is a Date object return argument instanceof Date; } }; // Use the argument matcher when defining the behavior of the mocked method when(mockedObject.method(argThat(dateArgumentMatcher))).thenReturn(expectedResult); // When calling the mocked method, pass a Date object as an argument Date date = new Date(); int result = mockedObject.method(date); // Verify that the mocked method was called with the correct argument verify(mockedObject).method(date); |
This will cause the mocked method to return the expectedResult value whenever it is called with a Date object as an argument.
Alternatively, you can use Mockito's any method to match any argument of a particular type. For example, you can use any(Date.class) to match any Date object.

when(mockedObject.method(any(Date.class))).thenReturn(expectedResult); |
This will cause the mocked method to return the expectedResult value whenever it is called with any Date object as an argument.
