PowerMock，模拟使用静态方法的类的方法抛出nullpointerexception

Question

I want to test the methods of a ClassA that have a constructor that uses a static method of a ClassB .

Classes

public class ClassA
{
    private String something;
    private ClassC somethingElse;

    public ClassA(String parameter)
    {
        super(parameter);
        setClassC(ClassB.getClassC());
    }

    public ReturnClass methodToTest()
    {
        // do something...
    }
}

public class ClassB
{
    public static ClassC getClassC()
    {
        // do something and return ClassC
    }
}

Test Class

@Test
@PrepareForTest(ClassB.class)
public void test_methodToTest() throws Exception 
{
    //Given
    parameter = Mockito.mock(String.class);
    aClassC = PowerMockito.mock(ClassC.class);
PowerMockito.mockStatic(ClassB.class);
    ClassA aClassA = new ClassA(parameter);

    //When
    PowerMockito.when(ClassB.getClassC()).thenReturn(aClassC);
    // Some behavior to test the method

    //Then
    ReturnClass aReturn = aClassA.methodToTest();
    assertNull(aReturn);
}

When run the test, Im getting a NullPointerException like:

Exception

I dont know how to mock the constructor ClassA and the static method of the ClassB to test the methods of ClassA .

Answer 1

I think, you should put PowerMockito.when before lassA aClassA = new ClassA(parameter);

@Test
@PrepareForTest(ClassB.class)
public void test_methodToTest() throws Exception 
{
    //Given
    parameter = Mockito.mock(String.class);
    aClassC = PowerMockito.mock(ClassC.class);
    PowerMockito.mockStatic(ClassB.class);
    //When
    PowerMockito.when(ClassB.getClassC()).thenReturn(aClassC); 
    ClassA aClassA = new ClassA(parameter);
    // Some behavior to test the method

    //Then
    ReturnClass aReturn = aClassA.methodToTest();
    assertNull(aReturn);
}
