Gabor Somogyi reassigned FLINK-27605: ------------------------------------- Assignee: Gabor Somogyi > Upgrade mockito to a version where static function mocking is possible > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-27605 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-27605 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Tests > Affects Versions: 1.16.0 > Reporter: Gabor Somogyi > Assignee: Gabor Somogyi > Priority: Major > > There are some external APIs used by Flink which are designed in a way which > is super hard to test. > Such a pattern is when a class instance is only available through a static > function and no publicly available constructor exists. > A good example to this is "UserGroupInformation" class in Hadoop library. > We've listed many different possibilities how to make it testable in the > following place: > https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/19372#discussion_r849691193 > After deep consideration we've agreed to use static function mocking in such > exceptional cases in order to make code clean and maintainable. > It should be emphasized that the general direction not changed in terms of > Mockito and Powermock usage. It should be avoided as much as possible. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.7#820007)
