Java – handling exceptions using mockito

I use mockito in unit tests I have a way

public Status getResponse(Request requset) throws DataException{
}

Dataexception is a self - defined that inherits from the exception class

In my test case

static{
when(process.getResponse(any(Request.class))).
                thenReturn(new Status("Success"));
}

It gives an error, unhandled exception: dataexception

Is there any way for mockito to deal with this problem without adding try / catch?

Solution

Add this to your test method:

@Test(expected=DataException.class)

Or use this:

then(caughtException()).isinstanceOf(DataException.class);

There is no alternative to try catch for static blocks

One way is to change dataexception to runtimeException
