What steps will reproduce the problem? calling: when(foo.bar()).thenReturn(createMockReturning("something"))

where createMockReturning is defined as: public Something createMockReturning(final String value) { final Something mockSomething = mock(Something.class); when(something.value()).thenReturn(value); return mockSomething; }

The exception thrown if you try and do this hints that there is unfinished stubbing (i.e. you haven't coded the thenReturn); or that the method/class was final. This isn't the situation here, instead you've just tried recording two mocks at the same time. This isn't entirely clear unless you know how the internals of the recording occurs.

Mockito 1.9.0

It would be good to just add this as another hint, e.g. "Hint 3: are you trying to mock behaviour on two mocks at the same time?"

Thx for the idea, you could also make a pull request ;)

Hi, I just checked the latest sources, this doesn't look fixed even though this is marked as fixed? Should I create a pull request for this still?
