Running powermock + mockito on java 11 http client

Question

I am trying to run powermock + mockito with Java 11 for unit test cases. I am using the below versions:

testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'
testCompile group: 'org.mockito', name: 'mockito-core', version: '2.28.2'
testCompile group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-api-mockito2', version: '2.0.2'
testCompile group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-module-junit4', version: '2.0.2'

After a lot of trial and error I got the test to start executing with Java 11 but not able to run the tests which have a static block with Java 11 http client. I added the

@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.management.*", "sun.security.ssl.*", "javax.net.ssl.*", "java.net.http.*", "jdk.internal.net.http.*"})

but still not able to get it to work. The exception is

Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make public java.net.http.HttpClient$Builder jdk.internal.net.http.HttpClientBuilderImpl.priority(int) accessible: module java.net.http does not "exports jdk.internal.net.http" to unnamed module @548b7f67

Answer 1

This would have been a lot easier to answer if you would actually show where you create the HttpClient, but I do assume it is created somehow like this?

class SomeClass {

      private static final HttpClient CLIENT;

      static {
          CLIENT = HttpClient.newBuilder()
                             ...
                             ...
                             .build();
      }
}

In such a case there are a few things you need in your test class:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(value = SomeClass.class)
@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.net.ssl.*"})
@SuppressStaticInitializationFor({"SomeClass"}) // fully qualified name in here
    
class SomeClassTest {

     @Before
     public void before(){
         Whitebox.setInternalState(SomeClass.class, "CLIENT", (HttpClient) null);
     }
}

The key point is that you need to "disable" static blocks via:

@SuppressStaticInitializationFor.

When you use the annotation : @PrepareForTest, ultimately, Mockito will try to find the methods of HttpClientBuilderImpl (that in turn is the result of HttpClient.newBuilder(), that in turn is called from static {} blocks that you have).

The modularization of java client means that jdk.internal.net.http.HttpClientBuilderImpl is not "exported", so no one can really use that (even if it is public). Mockito, internally, tries to find all methods of HttpClientBuilderImpl and see if it can access them. In your case, it has seen that HttpClientBuilderImpl.priority(int) is not such a method and it failed.
