As discussed in this link - https://groups.google.com/group/powermock/browse_thread/thread/25ba2b85d9e576f4 , I tried using PowerMock with Robolectric to mock the static method. But this throws 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; @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 gives the following exception:
com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.reflection.AbstractReflectionConverter$UnknownFieldException: No such field roboguice.activity.RoboActivity.__shadow__ ---- Debugging information ---- field :

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

The above exception seems to indicate that Robolectric cannot create the application context. Any idea on how I can make both work together?
