Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-7537: ----------------------------------- Reopening this old issue. Powermockito is great for creating better unit test cases. There were some incompatibility issues between Mockito and PowerMock in the last couple years. Mockito 1.9.5 + Powermock 1.5.6, and commons-io 2.5 seems to be a reliable combination that works for Hadoop trunk code base. > Add PowerMock for the development of better tests > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7537 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7537 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Kihwal Lee > Assignee: Kihwal Lee > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > Attachments: powermock.patch > > > We already have Mockito, but PowerMock extends its capabilties so that we can > mock constructors and static methods. I find that it is extremely difficult, > if not impossible, to properly test some of the low-level features without > this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
