Setting up Powemockito for static mocking
I would like to make use of Powermock with Mockito to mock some static method calls. I have followed instructions and examples from SO as well as the PowerMock Getting Started and MockStatic pages as best I can, but I am yet to complete a mockStatic() call.
When I call mockStatic(foo.class) from my test class, I'm given the excception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/Mockito/mock/MockName
at org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito.mockStatic(PowerMockito.java:70)
at ...my test class method call...
I'm sure this is a setup problem, as I have been finding the terminology used for setting this up to be pretty confusing. I did grab the Mockito Zip from the PowerMock downloads. In Eclipse (3.5.2) I opened the project properties and added all of the Jars to the build path. I also tried adding the entire unzipped powermockito folder to my environment vars classpath, and then just the powermockito jar specifically when that didn't work out.
I have these annotationsat the class-level of my test class as well, per the powermock instructions:
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(ApplicationContextLoader.class)
Also these powermock-specific imports:
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;
To those of you who have used PowerMockito before, even just a pointer in the right direction, or something to check would be really helpful. I'm struggling to see how my setup differs from that of posts I have seen using - from what I can tell - the same syntax.
Answer
Probably, the versions of Powermock and Mockito are not compatible. Fix that and it won't be a n issue anymore.
