Mockito Inject mock into Spy object : <p>I'm writing a test case for a Class which has a 2 level of dependency injection. I use @Spy annotation for the 1 level dependency injection object, and I would like to Mock the 2nd level of injection. However, I kept getting null pointer exception on the 2nd level. Is there any way that I inject the mock into the @Spy object?</p>

<pre><code>public class CarTestCase{
    @Mock
    private Configuration configuration;

    @Spy 
    private Engine engine;

    @InjectMocks 
    private Car car;

    @Test
    public void test(){

       Mockito.when(configuration.getProperties("")).return("Something");
       car.drive();
    }

}

public class Car{
    @Inject
    private Engine engine;

    public void drive(){
        engine.start();
    }
}

public class Engine{
    @Inject 
    private Configuration configuration;

    public void start(){
        configuration.getProperties();   // null pointer exception
    }

}
</code></pre>
