powermock跳过某方法_使用PowerMock模拟私有方法，但仍会调用底层方法

I am trying to mocking to mock out a private method that is making a JNDI call. When that method gets called from a unit test, it throws an exception^. I would like to mock-out that method for testing purposes. I used the sample code from another questions answer, and while the test passes, it seems that the underlying method still gets called. I inserted a System.err.println() in the doTheGamble() method, and it gets printed out to my console.

Interesting enough, if I comment out the first assertThat, the test passes. ?:(

So, how do I mock out a private method so that it does not get called?
