How to use FieldAnnotationProcessor class of org.mockito.internal.configuration package

PowerMock 1.6 isn't compatible with Mockito 2.7 (take a look at https://github.com/powermock/powermock/wiki/Mockito#supported-versions)

You should use PowerMock 1.7.0RC2 (or 1.7.0RC3 if 1.7.0RC2 doesn't work), and also use powermock-api-mockito2 instead of powermock-api-mockito.

By annotating the BImpl field with @Mock, you're saying that the instance itself should be a mock. However, you're not telling Mockito what result the mock should give when invoked with arguments, so Mockito uses its default behaviour of returning null.

The fact that BImpl is a real class with real behaviour is irrelevant. The field does not contain an instance of that class; it contains an instance of a mock.

In your test method, before you call aImpl.doSomething(), tell mockito the behaviour you expect it to use:

when(bImpl.permuteString("test")).thenReturn("someOtherValue");

OK. So, the contract of the method is the following: Parse the input string as JSON, and send back BAD_REQUEST if it's invalid. If it's valid, create an entity in the datastore with various properties (you know them), and send back OK.

And you need to verify that this contract is fulfilled by the method.

Where does Mockito help here? Well, if you test this method without Mockito, you need a real DataStoreService, and you need to verify that the entity has been created correctly in this real DataStoreService. This is where your test is not a unit test anymore, and this is also where it's too complex to test, too long, and too hard to run because it needs a complex environment.

Mockito can help by mocking the dependency on the DataStoreService: you can create a mock of DataStoreService, and verify that this mock is indeed called with the appropriate entity argument when you call your initialize() method in your test.

To do that, you need to be able to inject the DataStoreService into your object under test. It can be as easy as refactoring your object in the following way:

public class MyRestService {
    private DataStoreService dataStoreService;

    // constructor used on the server
    public MyRestService() {
        this.dataStoreService = DatastoreServiceFactory.getDatastoreService();
    }

    // constructor used by the unit tests
    public MyRestService(DataStoreService dataStoreService) {
        this.dataStoreService = dataStoreService;
    }

    public Response initialize(String DatabaseSchema) {
         ...
         // use this.dataStoreService instead of datastore
    }
}

And now in your test method, you can do:

@Test
public void testInitializeWithGoodInput() {
    DataStoreService mockDataStoreService = mock(DataStoreService.class);
    MyRestService service = new MyRestService(mockDataStoreService);
    String goodInput = "...";
    Response response = service.initialize(goodInput);
    assertEquals(Response.Status.OK, response.getStatus());

    ArgumentCaptor<Entity> argument = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Entity.class);
    verify(mock).put(argument.capture());
    assertEquals("the correct kind", argument.getValue().getKind());
    // ... other assertions
}

The parentheses are poorly placed.

You need to use:

doThrow(new Exception()).when(mockedObject).methodReturningVoid(...);
                                          ^

and NOT use:

doThrow(new Exception()).when(mockedObject.methodReturningVoid(...));
                                                                   ^

This is explained in the documentation

If you are using Spring 3, the easiest way is:

 @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)   
 public ModelAndView showResults(final HttpServletRequest request, Principal principal) {

     final String currentUser = principal.getName();

 }

Something like this should do it (not tested):

doAnswer(new Answer() {
    public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
        Object[] args = invocation.getArguments();
        List<?> list = (List<?>) args[0];
        list.clear();
        return null;
    }
}).when(test).clearList(any(List.class));

Not possible through mockito. From their wiki

Why Mockito doesn't mock private methods?

Firstly, we are not dogmatic about mocking private methods. We just don't care about private methods because from the standpoint of testing private methods don't exist. Here are a couple of reasons Mockito doesn't mock private methods:

It requires hacking of classloaders that is never bullet proof and it changes the api (you must use custom test runner, annotate the class, etc.).

It is very easy to work around - just change the visibility of method from private to package-protected (or protected).

It requires me to spend time implementing & maintaining it. And it does not make sense given point #2 and a fact that it is already implemented in different tool (powermock).

Finally... Mocking private methods is a hint that there is something wrong with OO understanding. In OO you want objects (or roles) to collaborate, not methods. Forget about pascal & procedural code. Think in objects.

You can use Qualifier in addition to @MockBean in case you have multiple beans of same type.

 @MockBean
 @Qualifier("centroDeCustoServiceImpl"
 private CentroDeCustoService service;

Refer MockBean java docs here:

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/api/org/springframework/boot/test/mock/mockito/MockBean.html

Also as per first comment to your question, you can avoid test configuration in the CentroDeCustoServiceImplTeste Unit Test. You can use a MockitoJunitRunner

See Update below: You don't need a Factory

If you are using Jersey 2, one solution would be to use Custom Injection and Lifecycle Management feature (with HK2 - which comes with the Jersey dist). Also required would be a Mocking framework of course. I'm going to use Mockito.

First create a Factory with mocked instance:

public static interface GreetingService {
    public String getGreeting(String name);
}

public static class MockGreetingServiceFactory 
                                     implements Factory<GreetingService> {
    @Override
    public GreetingService provide() {
        final GreetingService mockedService
                = Mockito.mock(GreetingService.class);
        Mockito.when(mockedService.getGreeting(Mockito.anyString()))
                .thenAnswer(new Answer<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public String answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) 
                                                      throws Throwable {
                        String name = (String)invocation.getArguments()[0];
                        return "Hello " + name;
                    }

                });
        return mockedService;
    }

    @Override
    public void dispose(GreetingService t) {}
}

Then use the AbstractBinder to bind the factory to the interface/service class, and register the binder. (It's all described in the link above):

@Override
public Application configure() {
    AbstractBinder binder = new AbstractBinder() {
        @Override
        protected void configure() {
            bindFactory(MockGreetingServiceFactory.class)
                               .to(GreetingService.class);
        }
    };
    ResourceConfig config = new ResourceConfig(GreetingResource.class);
    config.register(binder);
    return config;
}

Seems like a lot, but it's just an option. I'm not too familiar with the test framework, or if it has an mocking capabilities for injection.

        public GreetingService provide() {
            final GreetingService mockedService
                    = Mockito.mock(GreetingService.class);
            Mockito.when(mockedService.getGreeting(Mockito.anyString()))
                    .thenAnswer(new Answer<String>() {
                        @Override
                        public String answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) 
                                                       throws Throwable {
                            String name = (String)invocation.getArguments()[0];
                            return "Hello " + name;
                        }

                    });
            return mockedService;
        }

        @Override
        public void dispose(GreetingService t) {}
    }

    @Override
    public Application configure() {
        AbstractBinder binder = new AbstractBinder() {
            @Override
            protected void configure() {
                bindFactory(MockGreetingServiceFactory.class)
                        .to(GreetingService.class);
            }
        };
        ResourceConfig config = new ResourceConfig(GreetingResource.class);
        config.register(binder);
        return config;
    }
    
    @Test
    public void testMockedGreetingService() {
        Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
        Response response = client.target("http://localhost:9998/greeting")
                .queryParam("name", "peeskillet")
                .request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).get();
        Assert.assertEquals(200, response.getStatus());
        
        String msg = response.readEntity(String.class);
        Assert.assertEquals("Hello peeskillet", msg);
        System.out.println("Message: " + msg);
        
        response.close();
        client.close();
       
    }
}

UPDATE

So in most cases, you really don't need a Factory. You can simply bind the mock instance with its contract:

@Mock
private Service service;

@Override
public ResourceConfig configure() {
    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
    return new ResourceConfig()
        .register(MyResource.class)
        .register(new AbstractBinder() {
            @Override
            protected configure() {
                bind(service).to(Service.class);
            }
        });
}

@Test
public void test() {
    when(service.getSomething()).thenReturn("Something");
    // test
}

Much simpler!
