Whitebox.setInternalState doesn't work with final properties?

[newto...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I need to assign a mock to a private static final field, and was under the impression that Whitebox.setInternalState would handle that.

However, when the field is final, if fails with an IllegalAccessException.

Thoughts?

That's because the field is static and final at the same time and thus you can't change the value (unless you change the value in memory which Whitebox doesn't support). Whitebox uses reflection and thus cannot change static final fields.

By suppressing static initializers you can remove set the value to a default state (such as null) if that would help.
