------------------------------------

             Summary: Mockito does not work with newer Java versions -> disable 
tests automatically when no working Mockito
                 Key: SOLR-11606
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11606
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Tests
            Reporter: Uwe Schindler
            Assignee: Uwe Schindler
            Priority: Normal
             Fix For: 7.2, master (8.0)


When running Solr's tests with Java versions that are not supported by the 
Mockito mocking library, it fails with an error message.

We should disable the tests, if the underlying Mockito version does not allow 
to mock classes, because the Java version is too new. There is already and 
issue open at ByteBuddy that is the root cause.

The idea here is to use ByteBuddy's ClassFileVersion class to check if mocking 
is supported. This adds a new method to SolrTestCaseJ4: 
{{assumeWorkingMockito()}}

Tests that use the Mockito library should add this assume to their tests, to 
disable them if the mocking is not supported. Instead of using a Java version 
test, we do this with ByteBuddy, because this is more dynamic (if we update 
Mockito so it works with newer Java versions, it is automatically working).

At the same time, we should update Mockito/ByteBuddy ASAP when a new version is 
available.
