ijuma opened a new pull request #5691: KAFKA-7438: Replace EasyMock and
PowerMock with Mockito in clients module
URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5691
Development of EasyMock and PowerMock has stagnated while Mockito
continues to be actively developed. With the new Java cadence,
it's a problem to depend on libraries that do bytecode manipulation
and are not actively maintained. In addition, Mockito is also
easier to use.
While updating the tests, I attempted to go from failing test to
passing test. In cases where the updated test passed on the first
attempt, I artificially broke it to ensure the test was still doing its
job.
