How to create ArgumentMatchers.any(type: Class) for testing in Kotlin?

Question

I'm trying to unit test a class that uses the following service:

parserService.parseJsonStringToModel(json: String, adapterClass: Class<T>): T?

My first approach was to use ArgumentMatchers to implement unit testing as follows:

Mockito.`when`(parserService.parseJsonStringToModel(ArgumentMatchers.any(), ArgumentMatchers.any<CreateAccountRequest>().javaClass)).thenReturn(null)

Since ArgumentMatchers.any() returns null in Kotlin, that produces NullPointerException for non nullable types. So I give a try to Mockito-Kotlin library to avoid this problem. The approach looks like following:

whenever(parserService.parseJsonStringToModel(any(), any<CreateAccountRequest>().javaClass)).thenReturn(null)

Used library solves the problem for first argument but still produces NullPointerException for passed second argument.

So, how can I create an ArgumentMatchers for Class<T> type arguments?

Using `any>()` for the second parameter doesn't work for you? — tynn, Jun 20 '19 at 13:46

You could simply create a matcher directly for Class<CreateAccountRequest>:

whenever(
    parserService.parseJsonStringToModel(
        any(),
        any<Class<CreateAccountRequest>>()
    )
).thenReturn(null)
