Verifying interactions and ignoring stubbed methods

In this recipe, we will perform the verification of the interaction with a mock, but at the same time, we will ignore the stubbed methods from this verification.

Getting ready

For this recipe, our system under test will be a TaxTransferer class that will transfer tax through the web service for the given person if this person is not null. It will send a statistics report regardless of the fact whether the transfer took place or not:

public class TaxTransferer {

    private final TaxService taxService;

    public TaxTransferer(TaxService taxService) {
        this.taxService = taxService;
    }

    public boolean transferTaxFor(Person person) {
        if(person != null) {
            taxService.transferTaxFor(person);
        }
        return taxService.sendStatisticsReport();
    }

}

How to do it…

To verify a mock's behavior in such a way that Mockito ignores the stubbed methods, you have to either call Mockito.verifyNoMoreInteractions...
