Unable to verify spy behavior when spying on proxy

See original GitHub issue

When spying on a proxy instance (discovered with springs @Transactional), Mockito’s verify(mock) method, will nearly always return successful even when the expectations are absurd.

I wrote this test to demonstrate the unexpected behavior: Test of Spying on Proxy

So instead of : spy(proxy) use mock(TestSubject.class, delegatesTo(springProxy)).

However if annotations are need to read, then you’ll need mockito 2 beta. Because mockito 1.x uses CGLIB which doesn’t copies annotations on the mockito subclass. Mockito 2 uses the great bytebuddy.
