Mockito doesn't check for more interactions, but omits getters

Question

Mockito api provides a method:

Mockito.verifyNoMoreInteractions(someMock); 

but is it possible to declare in Mockito that I don’t want more interactions with this layout with exceptions for interactions with its getter methods?

A simple scenario is one in which I test that SUT only changes certain properties of a given layout and leaves other properties unused.

In the example, I want to verify that UserActivationService modifies the Active property in an instance of the User class, but does nothing for properties such as Role, Password, AccountBalance, etc.

This feature is currently not available in Mockito. If you need it, you can create it yourself using reflection wizzardry, although it will be a little painful.

My suggestion was to check the number of interactions on methods that you don't want to call too often using VerificationMode :

 @Test public void worldLeaderShouldNotDestroyWorldWhenMakingThreats() { new WorldLeader(nuke).makeThreats(); //prevent leaving nuke in armed state verify(nuke, times(2)).flipArmSwitch(); assertThat(nuke.isDisarmed(), is(true)); //prevent total annihilation verify(nuke, never()).destroyWorld(); } 

Of course, the sensitivity of the WorldLeader API design can be controversial, but it should do as an example.
