How can I invoke method by string name?

[Eugeny Shchelkanov]

My situation is: I am loading an OSGi bundle to Equinox, loading a
class from bundle and I want to test it. I need to mock a class so
that bundle's class will accept it. I can't use a class from my
sources because it will not be the same as bundle's class. Must be
confusing, so I will make an example.

Class MAIN uses class LOGIC which uses external resources, so I want
to mock it. I load dynamically (from OSGi bundle, using
Bundle.loadClass()) Class objects for MAIN and LOGIC. I am creating
mock for LOGIC.I can't cast dynamically created object to LOGIC: they
are loaded with different classloaders. I am getting a
ClassCastException. I can't write:
verify(mockLOGIC).method();
because mockLOGIC is of type Object and simply does not have this
method.

Can I somehow specify method name as a String? I did not find anything
similar in javadoc. If Mockito can't do this, can you suggest mocking
framework that can?

No refactoring possible, I am testing interaction with JCICS.

Hey,

Mockito does not support verification by String. At the moment, it's not even in plans because it's not refactoring safe and it's going to be quite a challenge to fit it into the current mocking DSL :)

One of the option is to make sure you use the same classloader ;) I wonder if you can have a slightly different bundle (or extra bundles) for testing purposes.

I don't know which mocking tools support mocking type-lessly by string but I'm sure there are some.

Cheers!

Hi,

I have already found that PowerMock can do this. Thanks.
