JAVA : JUNIT Argument passed to when() is not a mock

I'm trying to run unit test for below function


    @Autowired
    private EmailServiceConfigProperties emailServiceConfigProperties;
    
    @Autowired
    private HttpHandler httpHandler;
        
    public TransactionalEmailResponse sendPostRequestForTransactionalEmail(String endpoint, TransactionalEmail emailRequestBody) {
        HttpHeaders httpHeaders = setHttpHeaders(); 
        ResponseEntity<TransactionalEmailResponse> response = null;
        try {
            response = httpHandler.sendPost(endpoint, httpHeaders, emailRequestBody, TransactionalEmailResponse.class);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.error("An error while sending POST request to email-service : " + JsonUtils.jsonize(emailRequestBody), e);
        }
        TransactionalEmailResponse body = response.getBody();
        return body;
    }

Below is the unit test of the same:

@InjectMocks
    private APIKeyAuthHandler testAPIKeyAuthHandler;
    
    @Mock
    private HttpHandler httpHandler;
    
    @Mock
    private EmailServiceConfigProperties emailServiceConfigPropertiesMock;

@Test
    public void testSendPostRequestForTransactionalEmail() {
        TransactionalEmail transactionalEmail = getTransactionalEmailRequestBody(); //returns POJO
        TransactionalEmailResponse transactionalEmailResponse = transcationEmailResponse();
        
        Mockito.doReturn(setHttpHeaders()).when(testAPIKeyAuthHandler).setHttpHeaders(); returns POJO
        String sendEmailEndpoint = "https://dev.com/api/v2/send/email";
        Mockito.when(httpHandler.sendPost(sendEmailEndpoint, setHttpHeaders(), transactionalEmail, TransactionalEmailResponse.class))
        .thenReturn(new ResponseEntity<>(transactionalEmailResponse, HttpStatus.OK));
        
        assertNotNull(testAPIKeyAuthHandler.sendPostRequestForTransactionalEmail(sendEmailEndpoint, transactionalEmail));
    }

Below is the log of the error:

org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.NotAMockException: 
Argument passed to when() is not a mock!
Example of correct stubbing:
    doThrow(new RuntimeException()).when(mock).someMethod();

Can someone help me with how to fix the same? Thank you

Here:

when(testAPIKeyAuthHandler)

But:

@InjectMocks
private APIKeyAuthHandler testAPIKeyAuthHandler;

testAPIKeyAuthHandler is not a mock, and the syntax for doing a when() specification will not change that.

Meaning: the @InjectMocks annotation does not create a mock. It creates an object that Mockito will try to populate with your mock objects!

But note, the real answer here: these things are complicated. You can't learn how to use mockito in conjunction with a complex framework like spring by trial and error. Thus: you better step back. Pick up a good tutorial on how to use mockito. Read that, and understand how to use Mockito the proper way. Then pick up a tutorial that explains Mockito in conjunction with spring, read that, understand it. And then apply what you have learned to your setup.
