Cannot mock final Kotlin class using Mockito 2

PowerMock implements its own MockMaker which leads to incompatibility with Mockito mock-maker-inline, even if PowerMock is just added as a dependency and not used. If two org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker exist in path then any only one can be used, which one is undetermined.

PowerMock can however delegate calls to another MockMaker, and for then tests are run without PowerMock. Since PowerMock 1.7.0 this can be configured with using the PowerMock Configuration.

The MockMaker can be configured by creating the file org/powermock/extensions/configuration.properties and setting:

mockito.mock-maker-class=mock-maker-inline

Example of using Mockito mock-maker-inline with PowerMock: https://github.com/powermock/powermock-examples-maven/tree/master/mockito2

Since Mockito 2.1.0 there is a possibility to mock final types, enums, and final methods. It was already mentioned in the comments to the original question.

To do this, you’ll need to create a folder (if dont exist) test/resources/mockito-extensions and add there file with the name org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker and this line:

mock-maker-inline
