I am wondering if there is anyway to stub the value of Build.Version.SDK_INT
? Suppose I have the following lines in the ClassUnderTest
:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
//do work
}else{
//do another work
}
How can I cover all the code ?
I mean I want to run two tests with different SDK_INT to enter both blocks.
Is it possible in android local unit tests using Mockito
/PowerMockito
?
Thanks
Change the value using reflection.
static void setFinalStatic(Field field, Object newValue) throws Exception {
field.setAccessible(true);
Field modifiersField = Field.class.getDeclaredField("modifiers");
modifiersField.setAccessible(true);
modifiersField.setInt(field, field.getModifiers() & ~Modifier.FINAL);
field.set(null, newValue);
}
And then
setFinalStatic(Build.VERSION.class.getField("SDK_INT"), 123);
It is tested. Works.
Update:
There is a cleaner way to do it.
Create an interface
interface BuildVersionProvider {
fun currentVersion(): Int
}
Implement the interface
class BuildVersionProviderImpl : BuildVersionProvider {
override fun currentVersion() = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT
}
Inject this class as a constructor argument through the interface whenever you want current build version. Then in the tests when creating a SUT (System Under Test) object. You can implement the interface yourself. This way of doing things may be more code but follows the SOLID principles and gives you testable code without messing with reflection and system variables.
As an alternative to reflection, you can use your own class that checks for API and then use Mockito to test the API-Dependent logic in fast JVM unit tests.
Example class
import android.os.Build
class SdkChecker {
fun deviceIsOreoOrAbove(): Boolean = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O
}
Example tested method
fun createNotificationChannel(notificationManager: NotificationManager) {
if (sdkChecker.deviceIsOreoOrAbove()) { // This sdkChecker will be mocked
// If you target Android 8.0 (API level 26) you need a channel
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel()
}
}
Example unit tests
import com.nhaarman.mockito_kotlin.mock
import com.nhaarman.mockito_kotlin.verify
import com.nhaarman.mockito_kotlin.verifyZeroInteractions
import com.nhaarman.mockito_kotlin.whenever
@Test
fun createNotificationChannelOnOreoOrAbove() {
whenever(mockSdkChecker.deviceIsOreoOrAbove()).thenReturn(true)
testedClass.createNotificationChannel(mockNotificationManager)
verify(mockNotificationManager).createNotificationChannel()
}
@Test
fun createNotificationChannelBelowOreo() {
whenever(mockSdkChecker.deviceIsOreoOrAbove()).thenReturn(false)
testedClass.createNotificationChannel(mockNotificationManager)
verifyZeroInteractions(mockNotificationManager)
}
