Mocking a method that uses external classes, mockito

Question

I\'m new to mockito and just trying to understand how it works.

I have a method that I want to test. The method instantiates multiple classes to use its methods.

Answer 1

Instead of passing different objects of classes to method you could actually mock when new object is created. eg

Class1 class1 = Mockito.mock(Class1.class);
PowerMockito.whenNew(Class1.class).withNoArguments().thenReturn(class1);

At the top of the test class write this annotation

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({Class1.class})
public class Class1Test {

----------- some code-------
}
