PowerMockito verify that a static method is never called

Question

I am writing a JUnit test to verify that a static method (MyClass.myMethod()) is never invoked in the method flow. I tried doing something like this:

  PowerMockito.verifyStatic(Mockito.never());
  MyClass.myMethod(Mockito.any());

In doing so I receive an UnfinisedVerificationException. How do I test that MyClass.class has no interactions whatsoever in the method execution?

Answer 1

UnfinishedVerificationException will occur if the Class is not mocked yet but you are trying to verify the invocation of its static method.

PowerMockito.mockStatic(MyClass.class);
underTest.testMethod();
PowerMockito.verifyStatic(Mockito.never());
MyClass.myMethod(Mockito.any());
.
.
.

This should succeed if the flow never encounters a call to MyClass.myMethod()
