Setting up an unit test with Mockito

I'm trying to set up a simple unit test with mockito for the injects. This project is just a Proof of Concept for a test my friend is making for his project.

The problem I'm having is that I get null from the method I'm calling instead of "Hello World". Also when I debug I get into a class named MethodInterceptorFilter that's calling the method intercept with IndexOutOfBoundsExpetion as one of its arguments.

Does someone know what I'm doing wrong?

DAO:

@Stateless
public interface DAO {
     public String helloWorld();
}

DAO Implementation:

@Stateless
public class DAOImpl implements DAO{

    public String helloWorld() {
        return "Hello World";
    }
}

Service:

@Stateless
public class Service {
    @Inject
    private DAO dao;

    public String helloWorld() {
        return dao.helloWorld();
    }
}

Test:

public class RandomTest {

    @InjectMocks
    Service service = new Service();

    @Mock
    DAO dao;

    @Before
    public void init(){
        MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
    }

    @Test
    public void testTest() {
        assertEquals("Hello World", service.helloWorld());
    }
}

By the way, I'm using IntelliJ (not sure if that matters, but saying it anyway).

First, '@InjectMocks' creates an instance of the class and injects the mocks that are annotated with the '@Mock' (or '@Spy') annotations, therefore try to delete the @Before method, or do injects them manually but delete @InjectMocks annotation.

Second, the '@Mock' classes are classes that extend your classes and don't implement any methods (return null), to configure a behavior for the method you need to stub it with 

when(...).thenReturn()

or if using BDD

given(...).willReturn()

If you're stubbing the void method try using a'@Spy' and Lastly you need to use the runner '@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)' annotation on the Test class if using Mockito as the JUnit test runner (which is the default runner) don't know anything about Mockito.

The DAO class is mocked in your Service class, you need to specify the return object to mock.

@Test
public void testTest() {
    when(dao.helloWorld()).thenReturn("Hello World")
    assertEquals("Hello World", service.helloWorld());
}

Or you can use construct injection :

@Stateless
public class Service {

    private DAO dao;

    @Inject
    public Service(DAO dao) {
       this.dao = dao;        
    }

    public String helloWorld() {
        return dao.helloWorld();
    }
}

public class RandomTest {

    Service service;

    @Before
    public void init(){
        service = new Service(new DAOImpl());
    }

    @Test
    public void testTest() {
        assertEquals("Hello World", service.helloWorld());
    }
}

Or reflection, for example in Spring there is a utility class http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/test/util/ReflectionTestUtils.html
