Question

Matcher m = Pattern.compile("(" + genusNames + ")[^\\p{L}][^\uFF00]").matcher(inputText);
        while(m.find()){
            if(!StateMachine.checkFormatRoman(m.group(1).length(), m.start()))
                createDecision(m.group(1), "<Roman>" + m.group(1) + "</Roman>", m.start());
    }

In the above code checkFormatRoman method is from another class. What should i do to remove dependancy of this method, note the value supplied to this method is obtained dynamically.

Answer 1

I think you should mock your static method StateMachine.checkFormatRoman. You can do so using powermock.

You can return desired value you want.

Something like..

PowerMockito.mockStatic(StateMachine.class);
PowerMockito.when(StateMachine.checkFormatRoman(5, "IIIIL")).thenReturn(true);
