I try to mock a final method (readChar of class DataInputStream):
MyClassTest
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(DataInputStream.class)
public class MyClassTest {
@Test
public void testMyMethod() throws IOException {
DataInputStream mockStream = PowerMockito.mock(DataInputStream.class);
Mockito.when(mockStream.readChar()).thenReturn('a');
System.out.println(mockStream.readChar()); // OK (print 'a')
Assert.assertEquals('a', MyClass.myMethod(mockStream));
}
}
MyClass
public class MyClass {
public static char myMethod(DataInputStream dis) throws IOException {
return dis.readChar(); // NPE raises
}
}
It works when calling the mocked method in testMyMethod() but in myMethod() NullPointerException raises, why?
EDIT :
The complete failure trace :
java.lang.NullPointerException

DataInputStream is a 'system' class from JVM which is probably already loaded by JVM. @PrepareForTest would have to remove final modifier from the methods (to be able to mock), but it can't do so for already-loaded classes (HotSpot JVM doesn't support class signature changes for already-loaded classes), and this is probably why you get this exception.
Luckily there's also DataInput interface implemented by DataInputStream - maybe you can try mocking not DataInputStream but DataInput, for this you don't even need PowerMock, just Mockito.
