robolectric and powermock

[edwin]

Hi,
Powermock uses the annotation @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class).
Robolectric (http://pivotal.github.com/robolectric/index.html) also
uses the annotation @RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
Powermock and Robolectric share same @RunWith-annotation; that makes
that i can not use them together. Is there a way to develop a test
that uses both Powermock- and Robolectric-functionality?

Hi, 

Theoretically you can make use of the PowerMockRule but it's still experimental and doesn't work in all cases. The problem is our deep-cloner which can crash the JVM. We have plans to implement the deep-cloning mechanism using e.g. XML or JSON serialization instead. But you can give it a try and see if it works for you.

As of PowerMock 1.4.7 you can try the new PowerMockRule with X-Stream
deep-cloning and see if it works for you.
