LinkageError when try to mock X500Principal in junit

Question

I am trying to write test case by mocking java.security.cert.X509Certificate, javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal using PowerMockRunner. When I tried to import the class for the X500Principal IDE is showing 2 import options (javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal, com.sun.security.auth.X500Principal). I had used the correct import still It is showing the following error. Also the other import is deprecated one.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving overridden method "$java.security.cert.X509Certificate$$EnhancerByMockitoWithCGLIB$$887d20cf.getSubjectX500Principal()Ljavax/security/auth/x500/X500Principal;" the class loader (instance of org/powermock/core/classloader/MockClassLoader) of the current class, $java/security/cert/X509Certificate$$EnhancerByMockitoWithCGLIB$$887d20cf, and its superclass loader (instance of <bootloader>), have different Class objects for the type javax/security/auth/x500/X500Principal used in the signature

Answer 1

Found it working in PowerMockRunner itself by using @PowerMockIgnore({"java.net.ssl", "javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal"}). The thing i was doing wrong was i only ignored X500Principal.

Also it is working fine With MockitoJunitRunner with out any error.
