mockito + easymock - NoClassDefFoundError:net/sf/cglib/proxy/Enhancer

Question

I am writing a test using easymock + powermock, the reason I am using powermock is to mock a static method.

my test class looks like:

import static org.powermock.api.easymock.PowerMock.mockStatic;

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(StaticTest.class)
public class DummyTest {
    @Test
    public void testDummy() {
        mockStatic(StaticTest.class);
        Mockito.when(StaticTest.testMethod()).thenReturn("hello world");
        ........
}

here is my test dependencies and versions:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>4.10</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>
        <artifactId>powermock-module-junit4</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.12</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>
        <artifactId>powermock-api-easymock</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.12</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Running the test, I got initializationError as below:

has anybody run into this issue before?

Solution 1

You need cglib in your classpath.

Solution 2

Adding cglib dependency in maven solved me initializationError problem for powermock 1.5.5 as mentioned by @Premraj. For 1.4.12 Powermock probably version 2.2.2 of cglib should do it.

<dependency>
     <groupId>cglib</groupId>
     <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
     <version>3.1</version>
     <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
