I'm trying to use PowerMockito to create a spy of a final class but I keep getting the following error, even though I am using PowerMockito's spy() method in place of Mockito's:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot subclass final class class com.whoever.WidgetUploadClient
My test case looks something like this:
... import static org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito.mock; import static org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito.spy; @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) @PowerMockRunnerDelegate(RobolectricTestRunner.class) @PowerMockIgnore({"org.mockito.*", "org.robolectric.*", "android.*"}) @PrepareForTest(WidgetUploadClient.class) @Config(manifest=Config.NONE, sdk = 23) public class WidgetUploadClientTest { @Test public void testUploadWidget() { WidgetMarshaller mockMarshaller = mock(WidgetMarshaller.class); WidgetUploadClient client = spy(new WidgetUploadClient(mockMarshaller)); // Exception thrown by spy() ... } } Shouldn't @PrepareForTest(WidgetUploadClient.class) and using PowerMockito's spy() method account for WidgetUploadClient being final?
I have also tried the alternative approach found in Robolectric's PowerMock guide: using RobolectricTestRunner or RobolectricGradleTestRunner as the test runner (@RunWith) with @Rule public PowerMockRule rule = new PowerMockRule(). When I do that, the test fails to run entirely and a different exception is thrown.
I am using PowerMock/PowerMockito 1.6.5, Robolectric 3.1 and Java 1.8.0_91-b14.
