Cannot debug Mockito / JUnit code in Eclipse, works fine with just JUnit

[AlbertTWong]

I've got JUnit tests that run just fine. Added Mockito to my build and
I try to put a breakpoint in my JUnit test that uses Mockito to mock
out some of the public methods. When I try to run the debugger on the
class, I get the error "unable to install breakpoint in XXX due to
missing line number attributes. Modify compiler options to generate
line number attributes." I checked my compiler and I generate line
numbers is selected. I've googled for the obvious answers and I
can't seem to find the solution. Anyone encounter this?

I never saw this problem before. Can you check what checkboxes do you have ticked under "Classfile Generation" in Window>Preferences>Java>Compiler.

Do the same for Project specific settings.

Compiler
+ Add variable attributes to generated class file
+ Add line number attributes to generated class file
+ Add source name to generated class file
+ Preserve unused local variables
+ Inline finally blocks

I didn't enable project specific compiler options.

Does debugging work fine on other classes, those that not use Mockito?

Hi All,

I was facing the same problem. Please note that;
1. Debugging works for the junit test class which creates the mock
objects.
2. However, the mocked classes failed.

Here is my observation;

This failed
MkDirExecutor mockDirExecutor = mock(MkDirExecutor.class);<<<<<<<
// mock step
Step mockStep = mock(Step.class);
Mkdir mockStepConfig = mock(Mkdir.class);
String testDir = "/testDir";
mockStepConfig.setPath(testDir);
mockStep.setMkdir(mockStepConfig);
mockDirExecutor.step = mockStep;
// mock env
GathererEnvironment mockEnv = mock(GathererEnvironment.class);
StatusManager mockManager = mock(StatusManager.class);
FileResult result = (FileResult)
mockDirExecutor.executeStep(mockStep,
mockEnv, mockManager);
assertNotNull("no result", result);

This could be debugged
MkDirExecutor mockDirExecutor = new MkDirExecutor();<<<<<<<
// mock step
Step mockStep = mock(Step.class);
Mkdir mockStepConfig = mock(Mkdir.class);
String testDir = "/testDir";
mockStepConfig.setPath(testDir);
mockStep.setMkdir(mockStepConfig);
mockDirExecutor.step = mockStep;
// mock env
GathererEnvironment mockEnv = mock(GathererEnvironment.class);
StatusManager mockManager = mock(StatusManager.class);
FileResult result = (FileResult)
mockDirExecutor.executeStep(mockStep,
mockEnv, mockManager);
assertNotNull("no result", result);


Spot the difference in the line marked with <<<<<<<

I have no clue why it behaves this way, but it worked for me. Please
enlighten.

This discussion is quite old, but I hit the same message today and here is just my 2cents for people who could come here in the future.

I always used Mockito in my JUnit tests and it always worked fine with the debugger, but today I got this message. :(

What sounded strange was that it was about not being able to mock some class that should not be part of the current test...
   ... so my actual problem was that I still had old breakpoints installed in Eclipse while the project code moved on and that line was not the same anymore!

TL;DR
So my 2cents are: try by removing and re-adding your breakpoints, it might just be that a current breakpoint references an old version of a class. Just that!

Hope it helps!

mock(MkDirExecutor.class)

will create a full mock, which won't have any debugging information as all your methods will be empty methods unless overridden.

If you're interested in mocking out only a few methods, then you need to create partial mocks by using the Spy method:

MkDirExecutor mockDirExecutor = syp(new MkDirExecutor());

This will make your exception go away.
