Mock private method in the same class that is being tested

Question

I have a Java class named, MyClass, that I want to test with JUnit. The public method, methodA, that I want to test calls a private method, meth

Answer 1

To mock the private method, you need powermock
The sample code will be like this, but I haven't run it.

    import org.mockito.Mockito;
    import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
    import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

    @RunWith (PowerMockRunner.class)
    public class MyClassTest  {

        @Test
        public void test_MyClass_methodA_enters_if_condition()  {
            final MyClass myClass = Mockito.mock (MyClass.class);
            CustomObject object1 = new CustomObject("input1");
            CustomObject object2 = new CustomObject("input2");
            Mockito.when (myClass.methodB(object1, object2)).thenReturn (true);
            Mockito.when (myClass.methodA(object1, object2)).thenCallRealMethod ();

            assertEquals(myClass.methodA(object1, object2), "Result");
        }
    }
