Mock the Intial Context

Question

How to mock the below method using Mockito or PowerMock without providing the class in PrepareForTest

class Test{
    public static void test(){
        getConnection();
    }

    public static Connection getConnection() throws NamingException, SQLException {
        InitialContext localInitialContext = new InitialContext();
        DataSource localDataSource = (DataSource) localInitialContext.lookup(JNDINames.DATASOURCE);
        Connection localConnection = localDataSource.getConnection();
        return localConnection;
    }
}

In this question, is `Test` the class you are testing or a dependency of the class you are testing? It's a bit unclear what you mean by 'without providing the class' - do you mean without mocking the class? If so, then the answer is that you can't mock a method without mocking the object it is a member of. — sprinter, Dec 27 '19 at 11:12
If you use PowerMockito you will add the class to PrepareForTest with class name and it will affect the coverage and I dont want to use that way of implementation.Is there any other way to mock this class — user3428736, Dec 27 '19 at 11:45
