I'm having trouble writing unit tests for a method that overwrites a file to a S3 bucket. The method grabs the original metadata of the file, and then overwrites the file with a new modified version and the same original metadata.
What I want the test to do is verify the inner methods like getObjectMetadata and putObject are called correctly with the right parameters
Here is the method:
public void upload(File file, String account, String bucketName) {
String key = "fakekey";
ObjectMetadata objMData = client.getObjectMetadata(bucketName, key).clone();
try {
// cloning metadata so that overwritten file has same metadata as original file
client.putObject(new PutObjectRequest(bucketName, key, file).withMetadata(objMData));
} catch(AmazonClientException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Here is my test method:
@Mock
private AmazonS3 client = new AmazonS3Client();
public void testUpload() {
S3Uploader uploader = new S3Uploader(client);
File testFile = new File("file.txt");
String filename = "file.txt";
String bucketname = "buckettest";
String account = "account";
String key = account+filename;
ObjectMetadata objMetadata = Mockito.mock(ObjectMetadata.class);
when(client.getObjectMetadata(bucketname, key).clone()).thenReturn(objectMetadata);
// can I make this line do nothing? doNothing()??
doNothing.when(client.putObject(Matchers.eq(new PutObjectRequest(bucketName, key, file).withMetadata(objMData))));
uploader.upload(aFile, anAccount, bucketName);
// how do I verify that methods were called correctly??
// what can I assert here?
}
I'm getting a NullPointerException at the line in my test
when(client.getObjectMetadata(bucketname, key).clone()).thenReturn(objectMetadata);
I'm not even able to reach the method call. Honestly, what I'm pretty much asking is, how do I verify that this upload() method is correct?
