Can an anonymous object ever be non-final on the jvm?

Does it matter?

I wanted to use it in a test ... I implemented an interface like

object : TheInterface { ... }

. But for mockito it needs to be non-final, so I have to write a whole class in the code. It’s not horrible but could be neater 🙂

I guess you could try marking it as

open

but idk if that'll work.

It’s a syntax error 😄

You could maybe work around it using the

allopen

compiler plugin with custom annotation. But I am not sure if it works on anonymous objects

didn’t Mockito 2 lift this restriction via the MockMaker plugin?

Do you mean that you want to mock an anonymous class ? I'm curious about the use case. Why not mock the interface itself ?

I wanted to spy rather than mock actually ...

I’m pretty sure that it works if you enable the mockmaker plugin

Will check that out, thanks
