Unable to Mock Node and Set Properties in JUnit

Question

I have a function to convert node properties to json object and need to unit test that function. But I have tried many ways to mock the node but still getting null value.

public class NodePropertiesImpl{

    public JSONObject getNodeProperties(Node node) {
        JSONObject nodeJson = new JSONObject();
        try {
            nodeJson.put("componentGroup", getValueFromProperty(node, "group"));
            nodeJson.put("componentTitle", getValueFromProperty(node, "jcr:title"));
            nodeJson.put("componentPath", node.getPath());
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            log.error(ex.getMessage());
        }
        return nodeJson;
    }

public String getValueFromProperty(Node node, String propertyKey) {
    String propertyVal = new String();
    try {
        if(node.hasProperty(propertyKey)){
            propertyVal = node.getProperty(propertyKey).getValue().toString();
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        log.error(e.getMessage());
    }
    return propertyVal;
   }
}

Here's the unit test:

public class NodePropertiesImplTest extends AbstractTest  {
    private NodePropertiesImpl nodeImpl;
    @Mock
    private Node node;
    private Resource resource;
    private Property property;

    @Before
    public final void setUp() throws Exception {
        nodeImpl= new NodePropertiawImpl();
        context.registerInjectActivateService(nodeImpl);
    }

    @Test
public void WHEN_NodeHasProperties_RETURN_AllNodePropertiesInJSON() throws JSONException, RepositoryException {
 //Arrange
Node node = Mockito.mock(Node.class);
node.setProperty("nodeName", "node name is Hello");
node.setProperty("NodePath", "wcm/foundation/components/responsivegrid");
 
//Act
JSONObject actualJson = nodeImpl.getNodeProperties(node);
//Assert

}
}

The node parameter is null even though the properties are set. I was wondering what's the correct syntax for this?

Hello @codingninja

You would need to set up Mocks like this:

    @Test
    public void testGetNodeProperties() throws RepositoryException, JSONException {
        // Arrange
        when(node.getPath()).thenReturn("/some/path");
        when(node.hasProperty("group")).thenReturn(true);
        when(node.hasProperty("jcr:title")).thenReturn(true);
        Property groupProperty = Mockito.mock(Property.class);
        Property titleProperty = Mockito.mock(Property.class);
        when(node.getProperty("group")).thenReturn(groupProperty);
        when(node.getProperty("jcr:title")).thenReturn(titleProperty);
        when(groupProperty.getValue()).thenReturn("Group Value");
        when(titleProperty.getValue()).thenReturn("Title Value");

        // Act
        JSONObject result = nodeImpl.getNodeProperties(node);

        // Assert
        assertEquals("Group Value", result.getString("componentGroup"));
        assertEquals("Title Value", result.getString("componentTitle"));
        assertEquals("/some/path", result.getString("componentPath"));
    }

For every object used, initialization needs to be done.

@codingninja Could you try something similar and test it out?

context.create().resource("/content/page1", "group", "groupvalue", "jcr:title", "Title1");
// get resource resolver
ResourceResolver resourceResolver = context.resourceResolver();


Resource resource1 = resourceResolver.getResource("/content/page1");
assertNotNull(resource1);
Node  node = resource1.adaptTo(Node.class);
JSONObject actualJson = nodeImpl.getNodeProperties(node);
assertEquals("groupvalue", actualJson.getString("group"));
