Returning a mocked object from a mocked service

[kobbikobb]

thenAnswer does not work with a mocked object created inline in a method.

See below, do you think this should work?

   @Test
    public void doesNotWork() {
        ToyFactory toyFactory = mock(ToyFactory.class);
        when(toyFactory.create()).thenReturn(createToy()); // DOES NOT WORK
    }

    @Test
    public void works1() {
        ToyFactory toyFactory = mock(ToyFactory.class);
        when(toyFactory.create()).thenAnswer(x -> createToy()); // WORKS
    }

    @Test
    public void works2() {
        ToyFactory toyFactory = mock(ToyFactory.class);
        Toy toyVariable = createToy();
        when(toyFactory.create()).thenReturn(toyVariable); // WORKS
    }

    public Toy createToy() {
        Toy toy = mock(Toy.class);
        when(toy.getName()).thenReturn("Boy Toy");
        return toy;
    }

    public interface Toy {
        String getName();
    }

    public interface ToyFactory {
        Toy create();
    }

This is probably related to our state-management with mocks and stubs. I wonder if #1264 addresses this issue.
