Verify Super Method Call

[Richard Mealing]

Hi all,

Is there a way to verify that a non-accessible parent class overridden method is called in a child class overriding method? For example given

public class Parent {
    protected void method(...) {
        ...
    }
}

public class Child extends Parent {
    @Override
    protected void method(...) {

        ...

        super.method(...);

        ...
    }
}

Can we verify that in Child's overridden method, it calls Parent's method?

I know this isn't a new question as I have searched online and found multiple threads, but none have solutions (at least when the method is non-accessible) and the threads are fairly old now.

The following doesn't work, but I would expect something like

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({Parent.class,Child.class})

public class ChildTest {
   @Test
   public void testMethod() {

      Parent parent = spy(new Parent());

      Child child = spy(new Child());
      Whitebox.invokeMethod(child, "method", ...);
      // Attempt 1 fails as child and parent are not linked
      Mockito.verify(parent, Mockito.times(1));
      Whitebox.invokeMethod(parent, "method", ...);
      // Attempt 2 fails as it doesn't realise this is a reference to the parent's method even with the cast
      Mockito.verify(child, Mockito.times(1));
      Whitebox.invokeMethod((Parent)child, "method", ...);

   }
}

I know one suggestion is to refactor and use composition instead of extending, but I would like to know if there is a way to do it without refactoring, or if there are any plans for this?

Thanks

I don't think this is supported, sorry.

No problem, I'm not very proficient with PowerMockito yet and was wondering if I missed something!

I really hope this can be added in the future =)
