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

For the help of others who stuck with the same problem;

The method you are trying to mock , pcUserService.read, is declared as a final method. Static methods appears to cause issues with Mockito.
