Mocking Scala void function using Mockito

I found a few answers for this but nothing is working for me.

Trying to mock Apache Shiro Subject interface login method which returns void.

Interface:

    void login(AuthenticationToken token) throws AuthenticationException;

I have tried :

   #1
  val subject = mock[Subject]
  doNothing().when(subject).login(new UsernamePasswordToken())

   #2
  val subject = mock[Subject]
  doNothing().when(subject).login(any[UsernamePasswordToken])

   #3
  when(subject.login(any[UsernamePasswordToken])).thenAnswer(new Answer[Void]() {
      override def answer(invocation: InvocationOnMock): Void = {
       null:Void
      }

I keep getting NullPointerException on login. My goal is test around the login method and test some success cases along with some failure cases where this method throws an exception.

The default behavior in Mockito is to return nothing if you don't "stub" a particular method. No need to force a void() function to doNothing() since it's doing nothing by default.
