How to mock private method using powermock?-CodePudding

If I have a simple class like:

public class LuckyNumberGenerator {
    public int getLuckyNumber(String name) {
        return getDefaultLuckyNumber();
    }
    private int getDefaultLuckyNumber() { }
}

What modification do I need to mock the private method getDefaultLuckyNumber? I have this which doesnt work

LuckyNumberGenerator mock = spy(new LuckyNumberGenerator());
when(mock, "getDefaultLuckyNumber").thenReturn(300);

CodePudding user response：

PowerMock annotations required for mock working:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(LuckyNumberGenerator.class)

Example of working test:

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

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

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(LuckyNumberGenerator.class)
public class ServiceTest {
    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {
        LuckyNumberGenerator mock = spy(new LuckyNumberGenerator());
        PowerMockito.when(mock, "getDefaultLuckyNumber").thenReturn(300);
        Assert.assertEquals(300, mock.getLuckyNumber("name"));
    }
}

public class LuckyNumberGenerator {
    public int getLuckyNumber(String name) {
        return getDefaultLuckyNumber();
    }
    private int getDefaultLuckyNumber() {
        return 1;
    }
}
