POPowerMocking a new instantiation

Body
copied!<p>In a class that I am testing with PowerMock I have the following instantiation of a class</p> <pre><code>EmailMessage msg = new EmailMessage(getExchangeSession()); </code></pre> <p><code>EmailMessage</code> is a third party tool that I am mocking while <code>getExchangeSession()</code> is a enherited protected method. I need to mock the <code>EmailMessage</code> but I really don't care about the call to <code>getExchangeSession()</code>.</p> <p>At the moment I have the following, but the <code>getExchangeSession()</code> method is still called:</p> <pre><code>@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) @PrepareForTest({EmailProvider.class, ExchangeService.class}) public class MyTest { @Test public void test() { EmailMessage emailMessage = createMock(EmailMessage.class); ExchangeService exchangeService = createMock(ExchangeService.class); expectNew(EmailMessage.class, exchangeService).andReturn(emailMessage); // test setup and call to the class under test Email email = new Email(); new EmailProvider().send(email); } } public class EmailProvider() extends ClassWithProtectedAccess { public void send(Email email) { EmailMessage msg = new EmailMessage(getExchangeSession()); // and here follows the code that I am actually testing // and which works on the msg (EmailMessage) // ... } } </code></pre> <p>The first line of EmailProvider.send() is it that runs <code>getExchangeSession()</code> and which then fails.</p> <p>So apparently I can't skip the call to <code>getExchangeSession()</code>, and I should probably mock this method also. Is this correct? And if so, using PowerMock with EasyMock how can I mock this protected method?</p>
