Is it possible to use partial mocking for private static methods in PowerMock?

Question

From the examples on the PowerMock homepage, I see the following example for partially mocking a private method with Mockito:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)         


        

Answer 1

Test class:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(DataProvider.class)
public class DataProviderTest {

    @Test
    public void testGetDataWithMockedRead() throws Exception {
        mockStaticPartial(DataProvider.class, "readFile");

        Method[] methods = MemberMatcher.methods(DataProvider.class, "readFile");
        expectPrivate(DataProvider.class, methods[0]).andReturn(Arrays.asList("ohai", "kthxbye"));
        replay(DataProvider.class);

        List theData = DataProvider.getData();
        assertEquals("ohai", theData.get(0));
        assertEquals("kthxbye", theData.get(1));
    }

}

Class being tested (basically yours):

public class DataProvider {

    public static List getData() {
        try {
            return readFile();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }

    private static List readFile() throws IOException {
        File file = new File("/some/path/to/file");
        return readLines(file, Charset.forName("utf-8"));
    }

}
