java.lang.IllegalStateException: no last call on a mock available at org.easymock.getControlForLastCall (EasyMock.java:559)

Question

I am trying to mock a static non final method using PowerMock. My test class annotations look like:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassicRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(TestClazz.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"filePath"})

My test looks something like this:

// A few mocks being defined here, for instance
// EasyMock.expect(someObject.getFirstName("First Second")).andReturn("First");

PowerMock.mockStatic(TestClazz.class);
EasyMock.expect(TestClazz.staticMethod(EasyMock.anyString())).andReturn("returnString");
PowerMock.replayAll();

object.methodCall();

PowerMock.verifyAll();

I am getting an error that says:

no last call on a mock available

java.lang.IllegalStateException: no last call on a mock available
at org.easymock.EasyMock.getControlForLastCall(EasyMock.java:559)
at org.easymock.EasyMock.expect(EasyMock.java:537)

I need the runner to be SpringJUnit4ClassicRunner as I need to load the ApplicationContext first and then mock the required classes.

I am not sure what I am missing here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Based on @Henri's suggestion I tried using the @PowerMockRunnerDelegate. This is the stackTrace I encounter: InitializationError

My config has EasyMock-3.x, PowerMockEasyMock-1.6.x and PowerMockAgentJUnit4-1.6.x.

It's because you still need the PowerMockRunner. The trick is to use PowerMockRunnerDelegate, like this

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PowerMockRunnerDelegate(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(TestClazz.class)
public class MyTest {

    @Test
    public void test() {
        PowerMock.mockStatic(TestClazz.class);
        EasyMock.expect(TestClazz.staticMethod(EasyMock.anyString())).andReturn("returnString");
        PowerMock.replayAll();

        assertEquals("returnString", TestClazz.staticMethod("aaa"));

        PowerMock.verifyAll();
    }
}
