Annotation Interface MockitoSpyBean

@Target(FIELD)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface MockitoSpyBean

Mark a field to trigger a bean override using a Mockito spy, which will wrap the original instance.

If no explicit name() is specified, a target bean is selected according to the class of the annotated field, and there must be exactly one such candidate bean. If a name() is specified, it is required that a target bean of that name has been previously registered in the application context.

Dependencies that are known to the application context but are not beans (such as those registered directly) will not be found.
