Using @MockBean always returns null

I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the @MockBean annotation in Spring Boot 2.3.0. "user" always returns even though Mockito should have cought the function getCurrentUser.

    @MockBean   private AuthService authService;

    private User mockUser;

    @Test
        public void test() {

            Mockito.when(authService.getCurrentUser()).thenReturn(mockUser);
            User userTest = new User();
            mockUser = userTest;
            User user =authService.getCurrentUser();
        }

This happens because you do the thenReturn(mockUser) before new User(); The correct code would be something like:

    @Test
    public void test() {
        User userTest = new User();
        mockUser = userTest;
        Mockito.when(authService.getCurrentUser()).thenReturn(mockUser);
        User user = authService.getCurrentUser();
    }

Also, you don't need User userTest = new User(); You can do mockUser = new User();
