Ravenwood and Mockito

Last update: 2023-11-13

• As of 2023-11-13, external/mockito is based on version 2.x.

• Mockito didn't support static mocking before 3.4.0. See: https://javadoc.io/doc/org.mockito/mockito-core/latest/org/mockito/Mockito.html#48

• Latest Mockito is 5.*. According to https://github.com/mockito/mockito: Mockito 3 does not introduce any breaking API changes, but now requires Java 8 over Java 6 for Mockito 2. Mockito 4 removes deprecated API. Mockito 5 switches the default mockmaker to mockito-inline, and now requires Java 11.

• Mockito now supports Android natively. See: https://javadoc.io/doc/org.mockito/mockito-core/latest/org/mockito/Mockito.html#0.1

  • But it's unclear at this point to omakoto@ how the mockito-android module is built.

• Potential plan:

  • Ideal option:
    • If we can update external/mockito, that'd be great, but it may not work because Mockito has removed the deprecated APIs.
  • Second option:
    • Import the latest mockito as external/mockito-new, and require ravenwood to use this one.
    • The latest mockito needs be exposed to all of 1) device tests, 2) host tests, and 3) ravenwood tests.
    • This probably will require the latest bytebuddy and objenesis.
