How to mock static member variables
- by pkrish
I have a class ClassToTest which has a dependency on ClassToMock.
public class ClassToMock {
private static final String MEMBER_1 = FileReader.readMemeber1();
protected void someMethod() {
...
}
}
The unit test case for ClassToTest.
public class ClassToTestTest {
private ClassToMock _mock;
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
_mock = mock(ClassToMock.class)
}
}
When mock is called in the setUp() method, FileReader.readMemeber1(); is executed. Is there a way to avoid this? I think one way is to initialize the MEMBER_1 inside a method. Any other alternatives?
Thanks!
