13 /**
14  * Allows mock creation with additional mock settings.
15  * <p/>
16  * Don't use it too often.
17  * Consider writing simple tests that use simple mocks.
18  * Repeat after me: simple tests push simple, KISSy, readable & maintainable code.
19  * If you cannot write a test in a simple way - refactor the code under test.
20  * <p/>
21  * Examples of mock settings:
22  * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
23  *   //Creates mock with different default answer & name
24  *   Foo mock = mock(Foo.class, withSettings()
25  *                                .defaultAnswer(RETURNS_SMART_NULLS)
26  *                                .name("cool mockie")
27  *                                );
28  *
29  *   //Creates mock with different default answer, descriptive name and extra interfaces
30  *   Foo mock = mock(Foo.class, withSettings()
31  *                                .defaultAnswer(RETURNS_SMART_NULLS)
32  *                                .name("cool mockie")
33  *                                .extraInterfaces(Bar.class));
34  * </code></pre>
35  * {@link MockSettings} has been introduced for two reasons.
36  * Firstly, to make it easy to add another mock setting when the demand comes.
37  * Secondly, to enable combining together different mock settings without introducing zillions of overloaded mock() methods.

86      * Sets the instance that will be spied. Actually copies the internal fields of the passed instance to the mock.
87      * <p>
88      * As usual you are going to read <b>the partial mock warning</b>:
89      * Object oriented programming is more or less about tackling complexity by dividing the complexity into separate, specific, SRPy objects.
90      * How does partial mock fit into this paradigm? Well, it just doesn't...
91      * Partial mock usually means that the complexity has been moved to a different method on the same object.
92      * In most cases, this is not the way you want to design your application.
93      * <p>
94      * However, there are rare cases when partial mocks come handy:
95      * dealing with code you cannot change easily (3rd party interfaces, interim refactoring of legacy code etc.)
96      * However, I wouldn't use partial mocks for new, test-driven & well-designed code.
97      * <p>
98      * Enough warnings about partial mocks, see an example how spiedInstance() works:
99      * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
100      *   Foo foo = mock(Foo.class, withSettings().spiedInstance(fooInstance));
101      *
102      *   //Below does exactly the same:
103      *   Foo foo = spy(fooInstance);
104      * </code></pre>
105      *
106      * About stubbing for a partial mock, as it is a spy it will always call the real method, unless you use the
107      * <code>doReturn</code>|<code>Throw</code>|<code>Answer</code>|<code>CallRealMethod</code> stubbing style. Example:
108      *
109      * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
110      *   List list = new LinkedList();
111      *   List spy = spy(list);
112      *
113      *   //Impossible: real method is called so spy.get(0) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException (the list is yet empty)
114      *   when(spy.get(0)).thenReturn("foo");
115      *
116      *   //You have to use doReturn() for stubbing
117      *   doReturn("foo").when(spy).get(0);
