Unable to debug test code in eclipse when using PowerMockRule

[moldowan]

Hi!

I came accross a nasty little problem:

When using powermock (in conjunction with mockito) with
PowerMockRunner, I can debug code in the test class using eclipse just
fine, breakpoints are respected as expected.

But when I use PowerMockRule instead of PowerMockRunner, eclipse will
not stop at the very same breakpoint in the test class. Breakpoints in
the code being tested are working as expected.

I can provide a simple maven project that can be imported into eclipse
to demonstrate the problem.

Debugging in eclipse by attaching to maven-surefire-plugin also
doesn't work as expected.

Anyone else having this problem?

Best regards.

Hi,

Which rule are you using, the classloader based or the java agent based? I'm using intellij and I've not run into this issue afaik.

Hi Johan,

There are two rules? I only know this one:
org.powermock.modules.junit4.rule.PowerMockRule

It doesn't make a difference whether I use -javaagent:.../powermock-
module-javaagent-1.4.10.jar or not.

Btw: Powermock 1.4.10, Eclipse 3.7.1 (Eclipse Indigo SR1), Java 1.6u29

I also had this issue. I 've noticed that is caused by the @PrepareForTest at the class. A workaround I use is to move the @PrepareForTest from the class to the method. This allows me to debug in many cases

Is this something new? Did it work in older versions? Could it be a Javassist issue?

I am facing same issue. I am using JDK 8. Is there any update / solution for this?

I am also facing same issue with PowerMockRule, Is there any solloution?

Hello 

I think there is no solution. I faced the same issue in Intellij Idea. Root cause is that when PowerMock Rule is used the classes is reloaded during test starting. And Eclipse/Idea cannot detect that classes have been changed and wait breakpoint on class which not invoked.
