Junit Error : Invoking the beforeTestMethod method on PowerMock test listener

java spring-boot junit mockito powermockito

I haven't touched Mockito for a while, and I have never used it extensively. But today in some new code I wanted to use best practices so I pulled out mockito-core 2.0.54-beta using the following Java version:

java version "1.8.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode)

I needed an instance of this interface for testing:

https://bitbucket.org/globalmentor/rincl/src/bf0e8875a1bae16247dd904e0b8bc067c9f8abc9/src/main/java/io/rincl/ResourceI18nConcern.java

public interface ResourceI18nConcern extends Concern {

    public Locale getLocale(@Nonnull Locale.Category category);

    public void setLocale(@Nonnull Locale.Category category, @Nonnull Locale locale);

    public default void setLocale(@Nonnull Locale locale) {...}

    public Resources getResources(@Nonnull final Class<?> contextClass) throws ResourceConfigurationException;

}

That interface extends this one (just an empty marker interface):

https://bitbucket.org/globalmentor/csar/src/125b837e9936ddb8d6340fa99b6b5da872d1e6e5/src/main/java/io/csar/Concern.java

In my test I tried to do this simple thing:

final ResourceI18nConcern defaultConcern=mock(ResourceI18nConcern.class);

I get the following stack trace:

org.mockito.exceptions.base.MockitoException:
Mockito cannot mock this class: interface io.rincl.ResourceI18nConcern

Mockito can only mock visible & non-final classes.
If you're not sure why you're getting this error, please report to the mailing list.

Underlying exception : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class

Am I doing something wrong? This seemed to me as if it should be straightforward.

To reproduce this problem, clone https://bitbucket.org/globalmentor/rincl.git and check out commit 2f88d7c5e5ac17b6d316ed54c12cb7b447b7d6ac. Then try to run the following test:

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Locale.Category;
import org.junit.*;

public class RinclTest {
    @Test
    public void defaultConcernRinclGetLocaleIsConcernLocale() {
        final ResourceI18nConcern defaultConcern=mock(ResourceI18nConcern.class);
    }
}
