AndroidStudio/Gradle with powermock

Question

I couldn\'t find any info on how to setup powermock with Android Studio/Gradle. Everything I\'ve tried resulted in build exceptions.

Could anybody show a correct way

Answer 1

My example compiled from all the other answers I could find, with latest versions at the time of writing:

app\build.gradle

dependencies {
    testImplementation group: 'junit',         name: 'junit',                   version: '4.13'
    ...
    testImplementation group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-api-mockito2',  version: '2.0.7'
    testImplementation group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-module-junit4', version: '2.0.7'
}

A test class where say Android Log class was static mocked.

import android.util.Log;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({Log.class})
public class DateUtilsTest {
    @BeforeClass
    public static void beforeClass() {
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(Log.class);
    }
    ...
}
