How to use ClassLoadersTest class of org.mockitoutil package

The code you posted works for me with the latest version of Mockito and Powermockito. Maybe you haven't prepared A? Try this:

A.java

public class A {
     private final String test;

    public A(String test) {
        this.test = test;
    }

    public String check() {
        return "checked " + this.test;
    }
}

MockA.java

import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.equalTo;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(A.class)
public class MockA {
    @Test
    public void test_not_mocked() throws Throwable {
        assertThat(new A("random string").check(), equalTo("checked random string"));
    }
    @Test
    public void test_mocked() throws Throwable {
         A a = mock(A.class); 
         when(a.check()).thenReturn("test");
         PowerMockito.whenNew(A.class).withArguments(Mockito.anyString()).thenReturn(a);
         assertThat(new A("random string").check(), equalTo("test"));
    }
}

Both tests should pass with mockito 1.9.0, powermockito 1.4.12 and junit 4.8.2

Using void reset(T... mocks) will reset all stubbings on the mocks. If you just need to reset the invocation counts for subsequent verifications, use void clearInvocations(T... mocks).

One way is using reflection get rid of final modifier from the field and then replace the LOGGER field with Mocked one

public class Class1Test {
    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {
        Logger logger = Mockito.mock(Logger.class);
        Mockito.when(logger.isInfoEnabled()).thenReturn(false);
        setFinalStatic(Class1.class.getDeclaredField("LOGGER"), logger);
        Class1 cls1 = new Class1();
        assertFalse(cls1.demoMethod());
    }

    static void setFinalStatic(Field field, Object newValue) throws Exception {
        field.setAccessible(true);        
        Field modifiersField = Field.class.getDeclaredField("modifiers");
        modifiersField.setAccessible(true);
        modifiersField.setInt(field, field.getModifiers() & ~Modifier.FINAL);
        field.set(null, newValue);
    }
}

Mocking the iterator works for me. See below code sample:

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Iterator;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

public class TestMockedIterator {

    private Collection<String> fruits;
    private Iterator<String> fruitIterator;

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        fruitIterator = mock(Iterator.class);
        when(fruitIterator.hasNext()).thenReturn(true, true, true, false);
            when(fruitIterator.next()).thenReturn("Apple")
            .thenReturn("Banana").thenReturn("Pear");

        fruits = mock(Collection.class);
        when(fruits.iterator()).thenReturn(fruitIterator);
    }

    @Test
    public void test() {
        int iterations = 0;
        for (String fruit : fruits) {
            iterations++;
        }
        assertEquals(3, iterations);
    }
}

In new Mockito versions you can use stubbing consecutive calls to throw exception on first can and returning a value on a second call.

when(mock.someMethod("some arg"))
    .thenThrow(new RuntimeException())
    .thenReturn("foo");

I stumbled upon this too and the answer is buried quite deep in the docs, so here it is.

Mockito optionally offers advanced mocking features like mocking final classes. For this to work, they use a different mechanism ("mock maker") that is considered experimental and therefore turned off by default. But:

As a convenience, the Mockito team provides an artifact where this mock maker is preconfigured. Instead of using the mockito-core artifact, include the mockito-inline artifact in your project.

I have same kind of requirement in my project. where i need to set a string using @PostConstructor and I did not want to ran spring context or in other words I want simple mock. My requirement was follow:

public class MyService {

@Autowired
private SomeBean bean;

private String status;

@PostConstruct
private void init() {
    status = someBean.getStatus();
} 

}

Solution:

public class MyServiceTest(){

@InjectMocks
private MyService target;

@Mock
private SomeBean mockBean;

@Before
public void setUp() throws NoSuchMethodException,  InvocationTargetException, IllegalAccessException {

    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);

    when(mockBean.getStatus()).thenReturn("http://test");

    //call post-constructor
    Method postConstruct =  MyService.class.getDeclaredMethod("init",null); // methodName,parameters
    postConstruct.setAccessible(true);
    postConstruct.invoke(target);
  }

}

You could refactor MyClass so that it uses dependency injection. Instead of having it create an AnythingPerformerClass instance you could pass in an instance of the class to the constructor of MyClass like so :

class MyClass {

   private final AnythingPerformerClass clazz;

   MyClass(AnythingPerformerClass clazz) {
      this.clazz = clazz;
   }

   public boolean performAnything() {         
     return clazz.doSomething();        
   }
}

You can then pass in the mock implementation in the unit test

@Test
public void testPerformAnything() throws Exception {
   AnythingPerformerClass mockedPerformer = Mockito.mock(AnythingPerformerClass.class);
   MyClass clazz = new MyClass(mockedPerformer);
   ...
}

Alternatively, if your AnythingPerformerClass contains state then you could pass a AnythingPerformerClassBuilder to the constructor.

I had the same problem with the newer version. It looks to me that the doesNotExist() function will verify that the key is not in the result:

.andExpect(jsonPath("$.password").doesNotExist())
