Can Powermockito be used with Android Studio 1.2

Question

I am using Android Studio 1.2 and the com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.2 plugin.

Attempt 1

I include the following in my app/build.gradle:

androidTestCompile ('com.google.dexmaker:dexmaker-mockito:1.2')
androidTestCompile ('org.powermock:powermock-mockito-release-full:1.6.2')

but then the PowerMockito package in not available for import:

error: cannot find symbol
    PowerMockito.mockStatic(DatastoreFactory.class);
    ^

Attempt 2

I include the following in my app/build.gradle:

androidTestCompile ('org.powermock:powermock-api-mockito:1.6.2') {
    exclude module: 'hamcrest-core'
    exclude module: 'objenesis'
}

androidTestCompile ('org.powermock:powermock-module-junit4:1.6.2') {
    exclude module: 'hamcrest-core'
    exclude module: 'objenesis'
}

which is a trial-and-error offshoot of this q/a here: AndroidStudio/Gradle with powermock

This compiles but when run Mockito gives a runtime error:

Is anyone using Powermock successfully with Android Studio 1.2? Please share your build.gradle - thanks!

Answer 1

It should be good already. At least in my case its working fine.

dependencies {
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:2.0.5-beta'
    testCompile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'
    testCompile ('org.powermock:powermock-api-mockito:1.6.2') {
        exclude module: 'hamcrest-core'
        exclude module: 'objenesis'
    }
    testCompile ('org.powermock:powermock-module-junit4:1.6.2') {
        exclude module: 'hamcrest-core'
        exclude module: 'objenesis'
    }
}

Also, remember to select Unit Tests in the Test Artifact section of Build Variants in Android Studio. You need to make sure you are using the right project structure, Gradle version and testCompile.
