Mocking FacesContext

Question

I am trying to add some unit tests to a JSF application. This application didnt rely heavily on any best practices, so many service methods use the FacesContext to

Answer 1

I believe the best solution is not presented here. Here we go

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({ FacesContext.class})
public class MyTestClass{

@Mock
private FacesContext facesContext;

@Before
public void init() throws Exception {
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(FacesContext.class);
        PowerMockito.when(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()).thenReturn(facesContext);
}

And you need to import all the PowerMockito bundle in your pom.xml

        
            org.mockito
            mockito-all
            ${mockito.version}
            test
        
        
            org.powermock
            powermock-api-mockito
            ${powermock.version}
            test
        
        
            org.powermock
            powermock-module-junit4
            ${powermock.version}
            test
