New issue 403 by sedona...@gmail.com: Unable to set internal state on a
private field
http://code.google.com/p/mockito/issues/detail?id=403

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. in class:
class is accessing static field: private static Configuration config;
static{ initialize config;} config.getProperty(key;
2. in class test:
mockConfiguration=mock(Configuration.class);
mockConfiguration.addProperty("key","value");
Whitebox.setInternalState(myclass.class, "config", mockConfiguration);
and here RunTimeException was thrown: Unable to set internal state on a
private field

I was expecting "config" will be substituted with mock, but got an exception

mockito 1.9.0, powermock 1.4.12, os windows 7. installed JRE: jdk160_29

Hi,

First I must warn you, using Whitebox, which is an internal tool, is
dangerous because we can change behavior, signature or even remove it
whenever we feel it it's necessary. Plus as it's internal it isn't properly
documented.

The code shows that it isn't doing what you expect in this line
`Whitebox.setInternalState(myclass.class, "config", mockConfiguration);`.
You'' need to pass the MyClass instance, not the class. I believe the
stacktrace show a Caused By, that probably explains more what's happening.

FieldSetter is more appropriate I believe for what you want to achieve,
still it's an internal class, and there fore subject to change.

Hope that helps

Cheers,
Brice
