Question

Trying to use EasyMock to test if a protected method gets called, not sure if this is the best way to do it … but given the below, how can I tell that didIgetCalled() actually was called when callMe() was called?

public Class testMe(){
    public int callMe(){
        if(true){
            didIgetCalled();
        }
        return 1;
    }
    protected int didIgetCalled(){
        return 2;
    }
}

This is a way you can test the method without using EasyMock, however my recommendation is that: If it’s not public, don’t write a test for it

Method method = testMe.class.getDeclaredMethod("didIgetCalled", new Class[]{});
method.setAccessible(true);
testMe testClass = new testMe();
int invoke = (Integer) method.invoke(testClass);
assertEquals(2,invoke);

I know that this will not entirely solve your problem but it’s a start 🙂
