How test parent protected method calling (count)

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();
    }
    };
