Can't use PowerMock with Robolectric

As has been discussed in this link - https://groups.google.com/group/powermock/browse_thread/thread/25ba2b85d9e576f4, I tried to use PowerMock with Robolectric to mock a static method. But it's throwing some hard-to-understand exceptions.

Below is my test class:

package net.therap.passreset.service;

import android.content.Context;
import com.xtremelabs.robolectric.Robolectric;
import net.therap.passreset.util.ConnectivityStatus;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.rule.PowerMockRule;
import roboguice.RoboGuice;
import roboguice.activity.RoboActivity;
import roboguice.test.RobolectricRoboTestRunner;

import static org.easymock.EasyMock.expect;
import static org.powermock.api.easymock.PowerMock.mockStatic;

/**
 * @author sharafat
 */
@RunWith(RobolectricRoboTestRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(ConnectivityStatus.class)
public class TherapWebServiceClientTest {
    @Rule
    public PowerMockRule rule = new PowerMockRule();

    private Context context = new RoboActivity();
    private TherapWebServiceClient therapWebServiceClient;

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        RoboGuice.setBaseApplicationInjector(Robolectric.application, RoboGuice.DEFAULT_STAGE);
        therapWebServiceClient = RoboGuice.getInjector(context).getInstance(TherapWebServiceClient.class);
        mockStatic(ConnectivityStatus.class);
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        RoboGuice.util.reset();
    }

    @Test
    public void testLogin_success() {
        Robolectric.setDefaultHttpResponse(200, "");
        expect(ConnectivityStatus.isInternetConnected(context)).andReturn(true);

        therapWebServiceClient.login("", "", "");
    }
}

Running the test yields the following exception:

If I remove the context field from the class and replace it with new RoboActivity() elsewhere in the code, then the following exception is thrown:

The above exception seems to indicate that Robolectric is unable to create an application context. Any idea on how I can make both work together?

I found a way to use PowerMock in conjunction with Robolectric.

In addition to the standard PowerMock jars, the PowerMock Junit Rule is also needed. It is described here how to grab it. I used the xstream classloading version, because the objenesis one is very buggy. This is working with PowerMock 1.5.5 and Robolectric 2.3, i cannot speak about the older versions. Also please note that the Java agent should not be included, because from my experience it causes problems.

So if you are using maven, these dependencies should be declared:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>
    <artifactId>powermock-module-junit4</artifactId>
    <version>${powermock.version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>
    <artifactId>powermock-module-junit4-rule</artifactId>
    <version>${powermock.version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>
    <artifactId>powermock-api-mockito</artifactId>
    <version>${powermock.version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>
    <artifactId>powermock-classloading-xstream</artifactId>
    <version>${powermock.version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Then you have to setup your test class like this:

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@PowerMockIgnore({ "org.mockito.*", "org.robolectric.*", "android.*" })
@PrepareForTest(Static.class)
public class MyTest {

    @Rule
    public PowerMockRule rule = new PowerMockRule();

    private MyActivity activity;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MyActivity.class).create().get();
    }

    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(Static.class);
        Mockito.when(Static.getCurrentTime()).thenReturn(1);

        Assert.assertEquals(1, activity.getId());
    }
}

Update your PowerMock to above version 1.4.9. I think i'm using 1.5.1 and i'm not seeing the same error. i have:

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(MyStaticClass.class)

and they don't conflict.

see: https://github.com/jayway/powermock/wiki/PowerMockAgent
