EasyMock missing behavior even though it's defined

No matter what I do, I get the following error when trying to mock a method

java.lang.IllegalStateException: missing behavior definition for the preceding method call: ConfigurationSection.get("country-language") Usage is: expect(a.foo()).andXXX()

My code for testing:

EasyMock.expect(section.getString("country-language")).andReturn("US");

LocaleManager.updateLocale(section, Collections.emptyList());
EasyMock.expectLastCall();

replayAll();

Assert.assertEquals("Test", TranslatedMessage.translate("test"));
verifyAll();

The expect andReturn is called for the mocked class, and the static upateLocale method calls the method, first thing. The strange thing is this test works fine:

EasyMock.expect(section.getString("country-language")).andReturn("US");
replayAll();

Assert.assertEquals("US", section.getString("country-language"));
verifyAll();

But calling it from an external method doesn't work.

Your mock says:

EasyMock.expect(section.getString("country-language"))

The error says:

ConfigurationSection.get("country-language")

You are not mocking get("country-language"). You are mocking getString("country-language").

Unrelated, but verify is a maintenance nightmare and should generally be avoided. This ties test code directly to an implementation. Tests should focus on inputs and outputs if at all possible.
