The solution here is to use a customized answer. Two code samples: the first is the test classes used, the second is the test.

First, the test classes:

private interface Foo
{
    void bar(final List<String> list);
}

private static final class X
{
    private final Foo foo;

    X(final Foo foo)
    {
        this.foo = foo;
    }

    void invokeBar()
    {
        // Note: using Guava's Lists here
        final List<String> list = Lists.newArrayList("a", "b", "c");
        foo.bar(list);
        list.clear();
    }
}

On to the test:

@Test
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public void fooBarIsInvoked()
{
    final Foo foo = mock(Foo.class);
    final X x = new X(foo);

    // This is to capture the arguments with which foo is invoked
    // FINAL IS NECESSARY: non final method variables cannot serve
    // in inner anonymous classes
    final List<String> captured = new ArrayList<String>();

    // Tell that when foo.bar() is invoked with any list, we want to swallow its
    // list elements into the "captured" list
    doAnswer(new Answer()
    {
        @Override
        public Object answer(final InvocationOnMock invocation)
            throws Throwable
        {
            final List<String> list
                = (List<String>) invocation.getArguments()[0];
            captured.addAll(list);
            return null;
        }
    }).when(foo).bar(anyList());

    // Invoke...
    x.invokeBar();

    // Test invocation...
    verify(foo).bar(anyList());

    // Test arguments: works!
    assertEquals(captured, Arrays.asList("a", "b", "c"));
}

Of course, being able to write such a test requires that you are able to inject into your "outer object" sufficient state so that the test is meaningful... Here it is relatively easy.

Let me quote the official documentation:

Important gotcha on spying real objects!

Sometimes it's impossible to use when(Object) for stubbing spies. Example:

List list = new LinkedList();
List spy = spy(list);

// Impossible: real method is called so spy.get(0) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException (the list is yet empty)
when(spy.get(0)).thenReturn("foo");

// You have to use doReturn() for stubbing
doReturn("foo").when(spy).get(0);

In your case it goes something like:

doReturn(resultsIWant).when(myClassSpy).method1();

You can chain doReturn() method calls:

doReturn(true).doReturn(true).doReturn(false).when(rs).next();

Or, as mentioned in the comments, chain thenReturn method calls:

when(rs.next()).thenReturn(true).thenReturn(true).thenReturn(false);

Or, if you want to take things even further, you can use Mockito Answers:

when(rs.next()).thenAnswer(new Answer() {
    private int iterations = 2;

    Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
        return iterations-- > 0;
    }
});

It's a defect in Mockito with loading plugins when context class loader is different from which is used to load PowerMock and Mockito.

It could be fixed in Mockito 2, but as it mentioned in comments

Not sure we have the build infrastructure to backport the fix on 1.x

For Mockito 1, fix cannot be delivered, so I fixed in in PowerMock and fix will be include in next PowerMock release (PowerMock 1.6.5).

If you want to stub out what INSTANCE returns, you can do it but it's kind of nasty (using reflection & bytecode manipulation). I created & tested a simple project with three classes using the PowerMock 1.4.12 / Mockito 1.9.0. All classes were in the same package.

SingletonObject.java

public enum SingletonObject {
    INSTANCE;
    private int num;

    protected void setNum(int num) {
        this.num = num;
    }

    public int getNum() {
        return num;
    }
}

SingletonConsumer.java

public class SingletonConsumer {
    public String consumeSingletonObject() {
        return String.valueOf(SingletonObject.INSTANCE.getNum());
    }
}

SingletonConsumerTest.java

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito.*;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;
import org.powermock.reflect.Whitebox;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({SingletonObject.class})
public class SingletonConsumerTest {
    @Test
    public void testConsumeSingletonObject() throws Exception {
        SingletonObject mockInstance = mock(SingletonObject.class);
        Whitebox.setInternalState(SingletonObject.class, "INSTANCE", mockInstance);

        when(mockInstance.getNum()).thenReturn(42);

        assertEquals("42", new SingletonConsumer().consumeSingletonObject());
    }
}

The call to the Whitebox.setInternalState replaces INSTANCE with a mock object that you can manipulate within your test.

Just incase any M1 Mac users stumble onto this page like I did.

My Issue -

My spring boot project with wiremock tests, would run on my old intel mac but failed to run when I moved to my new M1 Mac.

_ _

I had 2 error messages

• java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Server ALPNProcessors!
• Suppressed: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no conscrypt_openjdk_jni-osx-aarch_64

Fix -

I needed a property to test.application

wiremock.server.httpsPort=-1

What are you looking for is called partial mocking.

In PowerMock you can use mockStaticPartial method.

In PowerMockito you can use stubbing, which will stub only the method defined and leave other unchanged:

PowerMockito.stub(PowerMockito.method(StaticUtilClass.class, "someStaticMethod")).toReturn(5);

also don't forget about the

@PrepareForTest(StaticUtilClass.class)

You can chain doReturn() calls before when(), so this works (mockito 1.9.5):

private static class Meh
{
    public String meh() { return "meh"; }
}

@Test
public void testMeh()
{
    final Meh meh = spy(new Meh());

    doReturn("foo").doReturn("bar").doCallRealMethod().when(meh).meh();

    assertEquals("foo", meh.meh());
    assertEquals("bar", meh.meh());
    assertEquals("meh", meh.meh());
}

Also, I didn't know you could do when(x.y()).thenReturn(z1,z2), when I have to do this I use chained .thenReturn() calls as well:

when(x.y()).thenReturn(z1).thenThrow().thenReturn(z2)

It's counting your setup as invocations since deeps stubs is not supported in the verification API, and complains on the second call which is:

when(mockSandBox.getSand().doB()).thenReturn(1);

I would skip using RETURNS_DEEP_STUBS and just use another mock:

...
@Mock
SandBox mockSandBox;

@Mock
Sand sand;

@Test
public void should(){
    when(mockSandBox.getSand()).thenReturn(sand);
    when(sand.doA()).thenReturn(1);
    when(sand.doB()).thenReturn(1);
    when(sand.doC()).thenReturn(1);
...
