The method to be tested, which internally creates a local Object of MyOtherClass, which can not be set/mocked via Constructor
public class MyClass {
public someReturn myMethod(){
MyOtherClass otherClassObject = new MyOtherClass();
boolean retBool = otherClassObject.otherClassMethod();
if(retBool){
// do something
}
}
}
So use power Mock, to say, whenever a new object with default contructor is called, use above object,
and you can add any other propery for your mocked object
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(MyClass.class) //tells powerMock we will modify MyClass to intercept calls to new somewhere inside it
public class MyClassTest{
@Test
public void test(){
MyOtherClass myMockOtherClass = createMock(MyOtherClass.class);
//this will intercept calls to "new MyOtherClass()" in MyClass
whenNew( MyOtherClass.class).withNoArguments().thenReturn( myMockOtherClass ) ); when(
myMockOtherClass.otherClassMethod()).thenReturn(true);
}
