I just reviewed a PR that was adding a unit test using PowerMockito. We've had lots of problems with PowerMockito leaving the unit testing JVM corrupted for later tests. Using PowerMockito also discourages us from refactoring product code to have better design and be easier to unit test. So in previous threads here on dev-list, the community decided to axe our usage of PowerMockito.
There are lots of Jira tickets about PowerMockito in Geode: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20GEODE%20AND%20text%20~%20%22PowerMockito%22 There is one open ticket for removing PowerMockito from Geode: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-6143 Unfortunately the assignee is no longer active in this community so we need someone or everyone to pitch in. If you find yourself working on an area of code that has a unit test using PowerMockito, please rewrite the test using regular Mockito and refactor the code that it tests so that you can pass all of its dependencies in via the constructor(s). If anyone would like to volunteer to take on GEODE-6143, please feel free to reassign it. I would be happy to help you out. Thanks, Kirk
