Mocked method still calls the real method

Question

I have mocked the request and the response using the easymock, but its still going through each line in the request method and getting exception.

Eg:

public class helper{

public String getCB(){
  Response response = serviceImpl.getDefaultMethod(request);
  return response.getString();
}

Test:

expect(MockServiceImpl.getDefaultMethod(mockRequest)).andReturn(mockResponse);

Getting an exception, Its going inside the getDefaultMethod().

I'm not understanding why its going through the code in that method. Can anyone please help me?

please add [MCVE](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve)s for both, the production code and the test. — Timothy Truckle, Dec 23 '16 at 09:58
I tried with the posted example, it didn't worked for me. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60500323/i-am-mocking-the-method-but-in-the-test-when-i-called-the-method-debugger-going — Anvesh Reddy, Mar 06 '20 at 06:12

AFAIK easymock is not able to mock static method calls.

You should move the line

Response response = ServiceImpl.getDefaultMethod(request);

out of the method and mock request.

The other approach was to use PowerMock, but IMHO that's a surrender to bad design.

getDefaultMethod is not static – user2514421 Dec 23 '16 at 00:35
*"getDefaultMethod is not static"* but you use a static access (before the edit and in your test example still) – Timothy Truckle Dec 23 '16 at 09:50

If the method is not static and not final, it should work.

If it doesn't, it means you are not calling this method on a mock but on an real instance of the class. Showing us the mock creation and injection will help us confirm that.
