Can I mock a super class method call?

Question

Sometimes, you want to test a class method and you want to do an expectation on a call of a super class method. I did not found a way to do this expectation in java using easymo

Answer 1

I don't think I'd mock out a super call - it feels to me like the behaviour there is part of the behaviour of the class itself, rather than the behaviour of a dependency. Mocking always feels like it should be to do with dependencies more than anything else.

Do you have a good example of the kind of call you want to mock out? If you want to mock out a call like this, would it be worth considering composition instead of inheritance?
