How to verify method is called with specific arguments once, but ignore calls with other arguements?

Question

I have a method that I am trying to verify is called once with specific arguments, but I don't care if the method is called any other number of times with different arguments. How can I do this in Mockito.

For example:

obj.method("example", example); // expected
obj.method("example1", example2); // indifferent 
obj.method("example", example); // unexpected 
verify(obj).method("example", example); // will pass

• Florian Schaetz: I would not expect example2 to have any influence on your verify there, unless example.equals(example2). For example, assume x.doSomething("a"); x.doSomething("b"); -> Mockito.verify(x).doSomething("a"); - works, while if we added x.doSomething(new String("a"); it would not work.

Answer 1

verify(obj).method("example", example); // will pass 

The indifferent code will not cause verify to fail.

My issue was that the expected line was not being executed and the indifferent showed up as different from what was expected after the unit test ran. Causing me to believe the expected line ran and the indifferent line to cause the failure.
