Inject mocks to Abstract class using mockito

Question

I am mocking an abstract class like below:

myAbstractClass = Mockito.mock(MyAbstractClass.class, Mockito.CALLS_REAL_METHODS);

the problem is that MyAbstractClass has some dependencies injected via EJB annotations and there are not setters. Is there a way to inject the dependencies?

@InjectMocks does not work with Abstract classes.

Answer 1

Since you cannot instantiate an Abstract class there is nothing to test. I would recommend that you create child class (it could be a nested class inside your test class), and then run your tests that way. Then you can use the @Mock, @InjectMocks as you would normally.

Answer 2

You can use the Powermock library to inject mocks in myAbstractClass using Whitebox.setInternalState(myAbstractClass, mock(MockedClass.class));
