Mocking session scoped spy bean calls real method

See original GitHub issue

Trying to mock a @SessionScope in a test by autowiring it using @SpyBean and then mocking using doReturn(..).when(sessionScopedBean).method(any()) calls the real method with null argument instead of silently registering mock. Removing @SessionScope from the bean resolves this issue.

We’ve already made the only “fix” that we can, and that is to add a note to the documentation about mockito-inline.

I did some debugging. Seems like that @SessionScope is enhanced by Spring so every method in it becomes final, thus Mockito can’t enhance it again. I’m wondering, why does Spring make all methods final when enhancing the bean? Can we somehow only make the injected methods final, but keep all declared methods non-final?
