How to use Mockito.verify () for static methods?

Question

I am working on Junit and Mockito. In my project, I have a SocialDataAccess controller, whose code is as follows:

public class SocialDataAccessController implements Controller{

private SocialAuthServiceProvider socialAuthServiceProvider;

@Override
    public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        String provider = request.getParameter("pId");
        String appCode =  request.getParameter("apc");

         * check if data in session is of the same provider orof different
         * provider, if different then remove auth and request token
         **/

        SocialUtility.removeOtherProviderAuthTokenFromSession(request,provider);

        try {
            /** creating the OAuthService object based on provider type **/
            OAuthService service = getSocialAuthServiceProvider().getOAuthServiceProvider(appCode, provider);
            .....
            ........
            ............            
return new ModelAndView("redirect:callback.html?pId=" + provider);
    }

public SocialAuthServiceProvider getSocialAuthServiceProvider() {
        return socialAuthServiceProvider;
    }

}

Here is what I did. I made a request and my request successfully called my controller. When I try to use Mockito.verify()to check if my static method is called or not, I get an error message as shown below.

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
@ContextConfiguration(
        locations={
            "file:/opt/div/BatchWorkspace/harvest_branch/WebContent/WEB-INF/test-servlet.xml"
        }
)

public class TestSocialDataAccessController {   
    @Autowired
    private WebApplicationContext wac;

    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(wac).build();      
    }


    @SuppressWarnings("static-access")
    @Test
    public void testBasicSetUp() throws Exception{
        RequestBuilder requestBuilder = MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/social-connect.html")
                .param("apc","tj")
                .param("src","google")
                .param("pId","ggl")
                .param("cl","xxxxxxxxxxxxxx");

        mockMvc.perform(requestBuilder)
       .andDo(MockMvcResultHandlers.print())
       .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isMovedTemporarily())
       .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.redirectedUrl("xxxxxxxx"));

           SocialUtility sutil = new SocialUtility();
           SocialUtility spy = Mockito.spy(sutil);
           MockHttpServletRequest request = requestBuilder.buildRequest(wac.getServletContext());
           Mockito.verify(spy).removeOtherProviderAuthTokenFromSession(request,Matchers.anyString());          

    }
}

The error I received is:

org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.UnfinishedVerificationException: 
Missing method call for verify(mock) here:
-> at com.tj.harvest.testcase.TestSocialDataAccessController.testBasicSetUp(TestSocialDataAccessController.java:88)

Example of correct verification:
    verify(mock).doSomething()

Also, this error might show up because you verify either of: final/private/equals()/hashCode() methods.
Those methods *cannot* be stubbed/verified.
Mocking methods declared on non-public parent classes is not supported.

My questions:

• Can i use Mockito.verify()for my method removeOtherProviderAuthTokenFromSession(request,provider). If yes, how? and if "NO" why? SocialUtilityis the name of the class, and the method is static. A request is the same request that arrives at the controller. And the provider is a string. I do not want to use PowerMockito.

• getOAuthServiceProvider(appCode, provider). ?

.

Answer 1

:

getOAuthServiceProvider (appCode, provider). ?

:

Mockito.verify(this.getSocialAuthServiceProvider())
       .getOAuthServiceProvider(Mockito.isA(String.class), Mockito.isA(String.class));

, - .

Answer 2

• PowerMockito Mockito ,

  PowerMockito.doNothing().when(SocialUtility.class,
                                "removeOtherProviderAuthTokenFromSession", 
                                any(MockHttpServletRequest.class),
                                anyString());
  

• getSocialAuthServiceProvider() SocialDataAccessController
