java - Mockito cannot mock this class

Question

I am attempting to mock a public class, however when doing so, Mockito throws an Mockito cannot mock this class exception.

Class I wish to mock: https://github.com/scribejava/scribejava/blob/master/scribejava-core/src/main/java/com/github/scribejava/core/builder/ServiceBuilder.java

Test code:

package xyz.jacobclark.adapter;

import com.github.scribejava.apis.TwitterApi;
import com.github.scribejava.core.builder.ServiceBuilder;
import com.github.scribejava.core.model.OAuth1RequestToken;
import com.github.scribejava.core.oauth.OAuth10aService;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.junit.MockitoJUnitRunner;

import java.io.IOException;

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.is;
import static org.hamcrest.core.IsInstanceOf.any;

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class TwitterOAuthAdapterTest {
    @Mock
    ServiceBuilder serviceBuilder;

    @Test
    public void getRequestTokenShouldReturnAValidRequestToken() throws IOException {
        class TwitterOAuthAdapter {
            private final OAuth10aService service;

            public TwitterOAuthAdapter(ServiceBuilder serviceBuilder){
                this.service = serviceBuilder
                    .apiKey("")
                    .apiSecret("")
                    .build(TwitterApi.instance());
            }

            public OAuth1RequestToken getRequestToken() throws IOException {
                return this.service.getRequestToken();
            }
        }

        TwitterOAuthAdapter oAuthAdapter = new TwitterOAuthAdapter(serviceBuilder);
        Assert.assertThat(oAuthAdapter.getRequestToken(), is(any(OAuth1RequestToken.class)));
    }
}

Full stacktrace:

xyz.jacobclark.adapter.TwitterOAuthAdapterTest

org.mockito.exceptions.base.MockitoException: 
Mockito cannot mock this class: class com.github.scribejava.core.builder.ServiceBuilder.

Mockito can only mock non-private & non-final classes.

Answer 1

Even though it's not specifically answering the question (question is Java 8), I came here via Google. Using Java 11, I solved this issue by including the following dependency in build.gradle:

compile group: 'org.mockito', name: 'mockito-core', version: '2.22.0'

as discussed here
