I did a SonarQube presentation at work. Feel free to check and use it as you like here.

java.lang.illegalstateexception: missing behavior definition for the preceding method call

I have the following exception while mocking a final method with PowerMock.

java.lang.illegalStateException: missing behavior definition for the preceding method call

My previous code was:

 ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource mockMessage =
createMock(ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource.class);
        expect(mockMessage.getMessage("text",
null, Locale.ENGLISH)).andReturn("error_message");
 replay(mockMessage);

Then I realized that createMock() and replay() belongs to EasyMock not PowerMock.
I explicitly did these calls:

 ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource mockMessage =
PowerMock.createMock(ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource .class);
        expect(mockMessage.getMessage("text",
null, Locale.ENGLISH)).andReturn("error_message");
        PowerMock.replay(mockMessage);

But that's not enough. For PowerMock to work, you'll also need to add few annotations before the class definition.

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource.class)

Notice that @PrepareForTest can also be defined just before the test method.
After these fixes my test begins to work.

mockito tutorial video

I recently find a very good screencast about mockito, a great mocking framework. There it is in three parts:

mockito tutorial

Mockito makes life easier for anyone who's writing unit tests. First I planned writing a brief tutorial for Mockito but then I saw Brett L. Schuchert's mockito tutorial. It is as detailed and clear as it can be. I recommend it.
