getArgumentAt is removed in 2.7.6

[mkolesnikov]

I could not find this method in 2.7.6 version of InvocationOnMock and there is also no information in the release notes in the incompatible-changes. Are you going to add it again or what was the reason to remove?

[TimvdLippe]

It seems that the deprecated method was incorrectly removed in #404. We have 2 options here: Re-introduce or document as breaking change. Personally I think we should list this as breaking change, which is unfortunate that we didn't list it earlier.

Also as an action point, I propose to always list a "deprecated since" mention to prevent these incorrect removal of deprecated features.

T getArgumentAt(int index, Class<T> type) was deprecated with the introduction of T getArgument(int index) in v2.0.51-beta with PR #373. So yes this is a breaking change, the PR and the corresponding issue #365 should be labeled with [incompatible 1.*].

I changed the "What's-new-in-Mockito-2" wiki page as suggested see -> c7c9b9c .

@ChristianSchwarz Thanks ! We missed that change.

I labelled the 3 tickets as 1.x incompatible.

Has this method been removed in 3.2.0 again ? I've just uplifted to 3.2.0 recently from 1.7.x and the usage of this method is again a compilation error !

[TimvdLippe]

No this method has not been removed. Are you sure you are compiling with the correct version of Mockito?

[Yogyatha9]

Hi... thanks for the spontaneous reply. Yes I'm using mockito-core 3.2.0 and since then the getArgumentAt method usage results in a compilation error ! I've checked my pom and 3.2.0 is the only mockito version being referred to. Is there anything that I'm missing if its not dropped/deprecated?

[TimvdLippe]

Please create a new issue with a reproduction case that we can debug.

Yep raised :: #1837. Thanks

@ChristianSchwarz the documentation change you did breaks for me though.

    when(metadata.getColumnLabel(anyInt())).thenAnswer(new Answer<String>() {
        @Override
        public String answer(final InvocationOnMock invocation) throws Throwable {
            final int col = invocation.getArgument(0) - 1;
            return labels[col];
        }
    });

This reports an error because Object and int cannot be subtracted. The old form worked:

        final int col = invocation.getArgumentAt(0, Integer.class) - 1;

@mirabilos Haven't worked with Java for a long time now. You could try invocation.getArgument<int>(..) or invocation.getArgument<Integer>(..) then compiler can unbox Integer to int. Hope that helps.
Otherwise cast to Integer
