Mockito How to mock only the call of a method of the superclass ?
No, Mockito does not support this.
If you really don't have a choice for refactoring you can mock/stub everything in the super method call :
class BaseService {
public void save(){
validate();
}
}
public ChildService extends BaseService{
public void save(){
super.save()
load();
}
}
@Test
public void testSave() {
ClildService spy = Mockito.spy(new ChildService());
// Prevent/stub logic in super.save()
Mockito.doNothing().when((BaseService)spy).validate();
// When
spy.save();
// Then
verify(spy).load();
}
