I have been trying to mock a constructor, However this does not seem to work inside an Enum's method, but works very well inside a static method of the same enum. Am using mockito extension.

Below is an example to reproduce the problem I am trying to describe.

public enum AnEnumExample {
    NOT_WORKING {
        @Override
        public String testViolatingMethod() {
            WithNewPreparedClass anObj = new WithNewPreparedClass();
            return anObj.getValue();
        }
    };

    public abstract String testViolatingMethod();
    public static String nonViolatingMethod() {
        WithNewPreparedClass anObj = new WithNewPreparedClass();
        return anObj.getValue();
    }
}

And testng test class to simulate the problem.

@Test
@PrepareForTest(AnEnumExample.class)
public class AnEnumExampleTestCase extends PowerMockTestCase {

    @BeforeMethod
    public void setup() throws Exception {
        WithNewPreparedClass mockObj = mock(WithNewPreparedClass.class);
        when(mockObj.getValue()).thenReturn("mockAnswer");
        PowerMockito.whenNew(WithNewPreparedClass.class).withNoArguments().thenReturn(mockObj);
    }

    public void shouldReturnMockAnswerOnStaticMethod() {
        //This is successful
        assertEquals(AnEnumExample.nonViolatingMethod(), "mockAnswer");
    }

    public void shouldReturnMockAnswerOnEnumMethod() {
        //This is not successful
        assertEquals(AnEnumExample.NOT_WORKING.testViolatingMethod(), "mockAnswer");
    }
}

Does look like a bug. Or Is there a problem with any of my configuration ?

powermock version = 1.6.2

mockito version = 2.0.2-beta
