Question

I have a problem when compiling unit tests. I am getting the following error message.

This error happens when I’m using PowerMock. Has anyone encountered this problem?

This does not occur at a specific point code. Occurs when I compile the test class. This is my test class.

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(BeanUtil.class)
public class ConsultaProcessosTest {

    private ConsultaProcessos consulta;

    private ServicoConsultaProcessos mockServicoConsulta;

    private Acordo acordo;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        consulta = new ConsultaProcessos();
        mockServicoConsulta = createMock(ServicoConsultaProcessos.class);
        consulta.setServicoConsultaProcessos(mockServicoConsulta);
        acordo = Util.criarAcordoComDadosMinimos("1");
        consulta.setAcordo(acordo);
    }

    @Test
    public void consultaComResultadosDeveIrParaPaginaDeResultados() throws Exception {
        List<ProcessoTO> resultadoConsulta = new ArrayList<ProcessoTO>();
        resultadoConsulta.add(new ProcessoTO());

        ParametrosConsultaProcessos parametrosConsultaProcessos = consulta.obterParametrosConsultaProcessos();
        expect(mockServicoConsulta.consultarProcessos(parametrosConsultaProcessos)).andReturn(resultadoConsulta);
        replay(mockServicoConsulta);

        PowerMock.mockStatic(BeanUtil.class);
        EasyMock.expect(BeanUtil.salvarValorRequisicao("resultado", resultadoConsulta)).andReturn(resultadoConsulta);
        PowerMock.replay(BeanUtil.class);

        String resultado = consulta.consultarProcessos(parametrosConsultaProcessos);
        String resultadoEsperado = "/pages/consulta/resultadoConsultaProcessos.xhtml";
        assertEquals(resultadoEsperado, resultado);

        verify(mockServicoConsulta);
        PowerMock.verify(BeanUtil.class);
    }

}

Comment out this one:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax</groupId>
  <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
  <version>6.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Replace with the following dependencie:

<dependency>
 <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
 <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
 <version>2.5</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

(if you are working with other app servers other than GlassFish,
you might also need this one)

<dependency>
 <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
 <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
 <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
