Suppressing static init blocks in java.sql.*

[Brad Stapleton]

I saw this question on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19386542/cant-suppress-drivermanagers-static-initializer-block

Basically, it asks about removing the static initializer block from java.sql.DriverManager. I noticed this on the FAQ:


I cannot mock classes in from java.lang, java.net, java.io or other system classes, why?

This is because they're loaded by Java's bootstrap classloader and cannot be byte-code manipulated by PowerMock's classloader.

Is java.sql.* one of those sets of classes that cannot be manipulated?

Yes unfortunately I think so :(

You can mock, suppress methods, stub methods etc in these classes since powermock 1.2.5 but you cannot suppress static initializers.
