<p>Bit of a tangent; I used to work for a fintech company that had a good few ex-Googlers. Their setup was similar to using Codespaces: cheap, locked-down Chromebooks for devs to type on, remotely accessible machines or cloud VMs in a well-separated network to host the monorepo, run builds etc.<p>It was an extremely miserable experience.<p>While I love the marketing materials of Codespaces and I want to believe in the superiority of remote development, I'm not yet convinced.</p>

<p>> In a language as open and flexible as Clojure, this information can pass through your application without issue. Clojure programs are able to be less fragile and coupled because of this.<p>Or this can wreak havoc :) Nothing stops you from writing Map<Object, Object> or Map[Any, Any], right?</p>

<p>I think what you want is a "spy" (partial mock), not a full "mock", but yes, both are possible. You can partially mock classes, i.e., specific methods only. Syntax is almost the same, instead of mock(User.class) you write spy(User.class).</p>

<p>I am assuming this is easier in Ruby because you can monkey patch classes?<p>Mockito in Java has a nifty way of doing this with Mockito.mockStatic:<p><pre><code>  @Test
  public void mockTime() throws InterruptedException {
    LocalDateTime fake = LocalDateTime.of(2021, 7, 2, 19, 0, 0);

    try (MockedStatic<LocalDateTime> call = Mockito.mockStatic(LocalDateTime.class)) {
      call.when(LocalDateTime::now).thenReturn(fake);

      assertThat(LocalDateTime.now()).isEqualTo(fake);
      Thread.sleep(2_000);
      assertThat(LocalDateTime.now()).isEqualTo(fake);
    }

    LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now();
    assertThat(now).isAfter(fake);
    assertThat(now).isNotEqualTo(fake);
  }
</code></pre>
Or you can pass a Clock instance and use .now(clock). That Clock then can be either a system clock or a fixed value.</p>

<p>Can you elaborate why? To be honest, I don't have experience with large-scale Clojure codebases, but I have my fair share working on fairly hefty Python and Perl projects, and I tend to think that the parent commenter is mostly right. What makes you think they are incorrect?</p>

<p>I think you are mistaken. Mocking and DI frameworks are two unrelated concepts. There is nothing in Java that forces you to use a DI framework, e.g., Spring if you want to use mocks during testing.</p>
