I am trying to test this kind of code :

class SMTPAppenderBase<ILoggingEvent>{



   protected void append(ILoggingEvent e){

      //someCode

      //someCode

      sendBuffer();

      //someCode

   }



   protected void sendBuffer(){

      //SomeCode

   }

}

class SMTPAppender extends SMTPAppenderBase<ILogging>{



   //someMethod

}

class CustomAppender extends SMTPAppender{



   protected void append(ILoggingEvent e){

      //someCode

      //someCode

      super.append(e)

      //someCode

   }

}

I need to test how many times super.append(e) is calling from CustomAppender. This must be done in @Test method.

How should I do this? I thought about :

• Mockito --> mock/spy. But it seems to be difficult with parent AND protected method.


• 
  

  Anonym class into CustomAppender -->

  
  
  

  CustomAppender appender = new CustomAppender() {
  
  
  
          @Override
  
          protected void sendBuffer() {
  
              //my counter here
  
              super.sendBuffer();
  
          }
  
      };
  
  

  
  

Thank you for your help.

EDIT : This works in my case

This works in my case :

        CustomAppender appender = new CustomAppender() {



            @Override

            protected void sendBuffer() {

                //my code / counter / collect...

                super.sendBuffer(cb, lastEventObject);

            }

        };

Via inheritance, this method is call in super.append(). Hope this could help some beginner as I am.
