Mockito Exception - when() requires an argument which has to be a method call on a mock

Question

I have a very simple test case that is using Mockito and Spring Test framework. When I do

when(pcUserService.read(\"1\")).thenReturn(pcUser);

Answer 1

Another solution to this issue might be that in case of a test class that is using PowerMockRunner, you might have to add the class that you are mocking to the list, in @PrepareForTest annotation.

For instance -

@PrepareForTest({ PcUserService.class })
