You are using the wrong mock. Try using the below one

org.mockito.Mock instead of org.mockito.MockitoAnnotations.Mock

Do we still have to use the MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this) to instantiate the mocks? – Dan Dec 09 '16 at 18:46

You may consider removing the deprecated

@BeforeEach
void init() {
    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
}

and replace it with this rule inside the class

@Rule //initMocks
public MockitoRule rule = MockitoJUnit.rule();

The source you linked suggests using the deprecated method as one of its alternatives. – Holloway Mar 10 '22 at 09:36

I know this is late, but for those who run into this issue today you probably included the wrong dependency. Make sure to add:

testImplementation 'org.powermock:powermock-api-mockito2:2.0.2'

where it's mockito2.
