java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException in Junit test - content fragment - ContentElement.getValue()

Question

I am trying to write a Junit for below piece of code and getting this error
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationExceptionat io.wcm.testing.mock.aem.MockContentFragment_ContentElement_Structured.getValue(MockContentFragment_ContentElement_Structured.java:173)
 
Code snippet
 
private String getAuthoredDate(ContentFragment contentFragment) {   SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy");   ContentElement contentElement = contentFragment.getElement("authoredDate");   Calendar date = (Calendar) contentElement.getValue().getValue();   return sdf.format(date.getTime());}
 
Any Idea how can I mock the ContentElement getvalue and FragmentData getvalue functions?
 
Thanks!

Looks like these methods are not supported yet with the wcm.io mocking library (see [1]). I would raise a ticket there and ask about plans to support these methods.

Well, if it's not supported by AEM Mocks, you will need to mock them yourself. This is usually done with the Mockito library.

A good practice I use is to create mocks based on interfaces and then register them in the AEM context with a custom builder via:

this.aemContext.registerInjectActivateService(...)

Since this doesn't look like a service, you need to use the old school mocking for your test.

Good luck,

Daniel
