Mockito + Spring + @PostConstruct, mock initialization error, why is @PostConstruct called?

Question

I have a set up like:

Bean class:

private final Map configCache = new HashMap<>();
@PostConstruct
private v         


        

Answer 1

Mockito isn't calling @PostConstruct -- Spring is. You say that in your test you use @Autowired, which is not a Mockito annotation.

If you meant to use @Mock, you'll find that Mockito won't call your @PostConstruct method.

In other words, write your test class like this:

@Mock Bean myBean;

@Before
public void before() {
    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks();
}
