PowerMock ECLEmma coverage issue

Question

We are using EasyMock and PowerMock with JUnit. The coverage tool used is ECLEmma. With EasyMock, it shows the coverage properly in green (as covered). However, for the code that is unit tested with PowerMock, the coverage is shown in red (uncovered). Have read similar questions on the web. However, just wanted to check if there is a solution for this.

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, there is a solution for this:

First you will have to add this maven dependency:

<dependency>   <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>   <artifactId>powermock-module-junit4-rule-agent</artifactId>   <version>1.6.4</version>   <scope>test</scope> </dependency> 

Then, instead of using this annotation @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class), just add a @Rule in the Test class like this:

public class Test {     @Rule    public PowerMockRule rule = new PowerMockRule();

Answer 2

It's a known problem : https://github.com/jayway/powermock/issues/422

And it has been for a long time, it won't be fixed anytime soon.

I suggest you use eCobertura instead.
