Issue
I have a final class, something like this:
public final class RainOnTrees{
public void startRain(){
// some code here
}
}
I am using this class in some other class like this:
public class Seasons{
RainOnTrees rain = new RainOnTrees();
public void findSeasonAndRain(){
rain.startRain();
}
}
and in my JUnit test class for Seasons.java I want to mock the RainOnTrees class. How can I do this with Mockito?
Solution
Mocking final/static classes/methods is possible with Mockito v2 only.
add this in your gradle file:
testImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-inline:2.13.0'
This is not possible with Mockito v1, from the Mockito FAQ:
What are the limitations of Mockito
Needs java 1.5+
Cannot mock final classes
