Ignore return value in EasyMock

Question

How do I have EasyMock to test that a method is called and returns a specific type - irrespective of the value viz

EasyMock.expect(........).andReturn(String.Type).times(5);

I just need to ensure that a method is called x number of times.
Is this possible?

With EasyMock you have to specify the behaviour of the method call. If the value of the return value doesn't matter then you can return a dummy value. Afterwards you can verify that the mock was called like you expected it to be called.

expect(mock.doSomething(...)).andReturn("dummy value").times(5);
replay(mock);
...
verify(mock);

You are right, the verify is needed and that's it. However, his original syntax is preferred. `expect(mock.foo()).andReturn(null).times(5)` – Henri Dec 30 '17 at 05:20

You can use either EasyMock.isA(< TypeObj >) or EasyMock.anyObject(< TypeObj >). See below for sample code

expect(mock.doSomething(...)).andReturn(EasyMock.isA(String.class)).times(5); replay(mock); ... verify(mock);
