PowerMock in JUnit

Can you please help me to define the PowerMock for that code:

    String role = "ROLE_WARP_PUBLISH_PRIVATE";

    Authentication authentication = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
    Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> authorities = authentication.getAuthorities();

    for (GrantedAuthority auth : authorities)
    {
        if(auth.getAuthority().equals(role))
        {
            if (publishCheckbox == true)
            {
                getScenarioService().makePublic(scenarioVersionId);
            }
        }

    }

So I know how that I have to mock the getContext() but I cannot return something when this method is called so I have a totally blackout how I can mock those few lines.

Thanks for helping

My recommendation: forget about using PowerMock.

If you have to mock static methods, then build your own little wrapper class around that. Then, for testing, your wrapper can return something you control; and for production usage; your wrapper just calls the static method.

PowerMock looks like the solution to many problems; but rather sooner than later, it will be the cause of much more problems.

Seriously: if your design can only be tested with PowerMock, this is very often a clear indication that your design is bad. So: focus on reworking your code under test; instead of investing time into a tool like PowerMock that does more harm than good.

I have spent countless hours trying to resolve PowerMock problems; and since instead started to write "better to test" production code ... I have written hundreds or thousands of tests without ever needing PowerMock again.
