How to use Mockito "verify" with "eventually" of specs2?

Question

I am writing a test with specs2 and mockito in Scala. The test should verify that a function foo running asynchronously calls barMock.bar()

In order to verify the barMock.bar() call I can use verify :

verify(barMock).bar()

Since foo is running asynchronously I should use eventually method to verify the call :

eventually {
  verify(barMock).bar()
} 

Unfortunately, the code above does not compile and I had to add success

eventually {
  verify(barMock).bar()
  success
}

Is it possible to get rid of that successs ?

Answer 1

You need to assert something for eventually, success is a good case for that, as before the verify will fail with AssertionError when it was not called.

In case you want to be more explicit on that, you can do something like this (based on this issue):

eventually {
  verify(barMock).bar() must not(throwA[AssertionError])
}
