`@Mock` doesn't work when using nima test about avaje-nima

[rob-bygrave]

@mock Service mocky; //<- doesn't get added to beanscope

Right, so the HttpClient is static scope ... and that means that the http server that it will hit/access is also "wired" to the static scope.

So the @Mock Service mocky will be injected as a mock into the instance scope ... but IF the test is using the httpClient, that httpClient will hit the static scoped server instance which will NOT include that mock.

If it was the other way around [in terms of static scope and instance scope] like:

 @Inject HttpClient client;
 static @Mock Service mocky;

Or the same scope [both static or both instance scope] ... then tests can use both.

doesn't get added to beanscope

This statement is NOT correct. It is getting added to a beanScope ... it's that there are MULTIPLE BeanScopes (the static one and the instance one). The static scoped HttpClient will hit the static scoped Helidon instance (and that instance is created once at static class beforeAll time ...

hmm, would this be an inject bug or an avaje nima bug?

once again, the error is mine, it seems I get it working if I don't add static when injecting the client

it seems I get it working if I don't add static when injecting the client

This does not make sense to me in that both static and non-static/instance are valid scopes.

Did this test use @Mock or @Inject? It could be that I'm assuming HttpClient is used with @Inject and maybe that is confusing ?

looked like this:

@InjectTest
TestyMcTest {
 @Inject static HttpClient client;
 @Mock Service mocky; //<- doesn't get added to beanscope
}
