Powermock constructor mocking has no effect on the instantiated object

Question

    Class  A{

    B objB = new B();
    objB.someBMethod();

    }

    Class B{

    public void someBMethof(){

    C objC = new C();

    }
    }

    class C{
    int a=1;
    public C(){}
    public C(int v){
    a=v;
    }
    }

@RunWith( PoswerMockRunner.class )
@PrepareForTest({ A.class, B.class, C.class})
Class TestApp{

    @Mock
    C mockC;

    PowerMockito.whenNew( C.class ).withNoArguments().thenReturn(mockC);

}

The above code captures what im trying to do. But the whenNew() does not seem to be working and when i try debuggin the C object created is not the mock. Dont know whats happening. Some pointers would be much appreciated. thanks

You provides some code, so thanks. But the next time, consider to post an sscce (Correct ( Compilable ) example).

I tried (and fix your code) and it works. This is my version of your code :

public class A {

    public int someAMethod() {
        B objB = new B();
        return objB.someBMethod();
    }
}

public class B {

    public int someBMethod() {
        C objC = new C();
        return objC.getA();
    }
}
