Run-time exception when running simple unit test with Powermock (with mockito) on Android Studio

Question

I've got a run-time error when I try to run my Unit tests in Android Studio, that I just can't seem to solve. I'm guessing it's something to do with the dependencies since the error trace doesn't specify any of my unit testing code.

My app.gradle file looks like:

dependencies {
    testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    testCompile 'org.powermock:powermock-api-mockito:1.6.3'
    testCompile 'org.powermock:powermock-module-junit4-rule-agent:1.6.3'
    testCompile 'org.powermock:powermock-module-junit4-rule:1.6.3'
    testCompile 'org.powermock:powermock-module-junit4:1.6.3' }

The error i'm getting looks like:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Invoking the beforeTestMethod method on PowerMock test listener org.powermock.api.extension.listener.AnnotationEnabler@38d8f54a failed.

Process finished with exit code 254    

I use both:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(Projectile.class)

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Answer 1

Could you provide more information about class which is tested and about test it self.

According to logs, PowerMock cannot create mock object for one of field of test class which is annotated by org.mockito.Mock .

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot subclass final class class [[I

Base on this line, class cannot be created, because class is final .
