Verify Static Method Call using PowerMockito 1.6

Question

I am writing JUnit test case for methods similar to sample given below:

Class SampleA{
    public static void methodA(){
        boolean isSuccessful = methodB();
        if(isSuccessful){
            SampleB.methodC();
        }
    }

    public static boolean methodB(){
        //some logic
        return true;
    }
}

Class SampleB{
    public static void methodC(){
        return;
    }
}

I wrote the following test case in my test class:

@Test
public void testMethodA_1(){
    PowerMockito.mockStatic(SampleA.class,SampleB.class);

    PowerMockito.when(SampleA.methodB()).thenReturn(true);
    PowerMockito.doNothing().when(SampleB.class,"methodC");

    PowerMockito.doCallRealMethod().when(SampleA.class,"methodA");
    SampleA.methodA();
}

Now I want to verify whether static methodC() of class Sample B is called or not. How can I achieve using PowerMockito 1.6? I have tried many things but it doesn't seems to be working out for me. Any help is appreciated.

Personally, I have to say that PowerMock, etc. is the solution to a problem that you shouldn't have if your code wasn't bad. In some cases, it is required because frameworks, etc. use static methods that lead to code that simply cannot be tested otherwise, but if it's about YOUR code, you should always prefer refactoring instead of static mocking.

Anyway, verifing that in PowerMockito shouldn't be that hard...

PowerMockito.verifyStatic( Mockito.times(1)); // Verify that the following mock method was called exactly 1 time
SampleB.methodC();

(Of course, for this to work you must add SampleB to the @PrepareForTest annotation and call mockStatic for it.)
