Annotation Type Injectable

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({FIELD,PARAMETER}) public @interface Injectable
Indicates that the value of a mock field or mock parameter will be an isolated mocked instance, intended to be passed or injected into the code under test. Such instances can be said to be proper mock objects, in contrast to the mocked instances of a regular @Mocked type.

When the type of the injectable is String, a primitive wrapper, a number type, or an enum, it is not mocked. A non-empty value() must then be provided, except in the first case where the empty string is used by default.

For the duration of each test where the mock field/parameter is in scope, only one injectable instance is mocked; other instances of the same mocked type are not affected. For an injectable mocked class, static methods and constructors are not mocked; only non-native instance methods are.

When used in combination with @Tested, the values of injectable fields and parameters will be used for automatic injection into the tested object. Additionally, this annotation can be applied to non-mocked fields of primitive or array types, which will also be used for injection.

      String value
      Specifies a literal value when the type of the injectable mock field/parameter is String, a primitive or wrapper type, a number type, or an enum type. For a primitive/wrapper/number type, the value provided must be convertible to it. For an enum type, the given textual value must equal the name of one of the possible enum values.
