FluentAnswer (camunda-platform-7-mockito 6.18.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.camunda.community.mockito.answer.FluentAnswer<T,R>

Type Parameters:

T - the return type of the answer

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.mockito.stubbing.Answer<T>
```
public final class FluentAnswer<T extends org.camunda.bpm.engine.query.Query<?,R>,R>
extends Object
implements org.mockito.stubbing.Answer<T>
```
A fluent answer always returns the mock instance itself for all methods that have the same return type as the mock instance. This makes it possible to easily mock fluent-api behaviour without chaining the when/then stubbings or relying on deep stubs.
