I want to write unit test case for some of the static methods in my project,
Snippet of my class code,
Class Util{
public static String getVariableValue(String name)
{
if(isWindows()){
return some string...
}
else{
return some other string...
}
}
public static boolean isWindows(){
if(os is windows)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
Basically, i want to write unit test case for getVariableValue() when isWindows() returns 'false'. How do i write this using powermock?
// This is the way to tell PowerMock to mock all static methods of a
// given class
PowerMock.mockStaticPartial(Util.class,"isWindows");
expect(Util.isWindows()).andReturn(false);
This solutions also uses Easymock to setup the expectation.
First you need to prepare you testclass:
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(Util.class)
public class UtilTest {}
Mock the static class:
PowerMock.mockStaticPartial(Util.class,"isWindows");
Setup an expectation:
EasyMock.expect(Util.isWindows()).andReturn(false);
Replay the mock:
PowerMock.replay(Util.class);
Make the call to the method you want to test and afterward verify the mock with:
PowerMock.verify(Util.class);
