I don't use TestNG. I had a class extending JUnit TestCase, with a setUp method. I did introduce field inside a test method, chose to instantiate in setUp method, and IntelliJ created this method at the end of the file:

  @org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod
  protected void setUp() throws Exception {
    super.setUp();
    logger = control.createMock(ToolsLogger.class);
  }

The @org.testng... annotation is marked red because I don't use testNG and its libraries are not in the project.

Issue was resolved
