Hi @akomakom , > can you clarify what you're looking for here? Which method exists/doesn't? I meant the method `getToolchains`. It was only some way on how the test would know what version of Maven is executed. One test is suitable for low version and the second for 3.3.0+. If you find easier way, that's even better then. > I tried to go down path number 1, but I'm finding that when I run tests, the method never exists... You will never be able to run the test for a new method in IntelliJ IDEA. It would be possible only in the Maven build. So you have to create a new test class and register the class in `JUnit4SuiteTest`. Then run the build `mvn clean install` with **certain Maven version**. > I should probably add that I've never worked with mockito so I'm guessing my way through line by line. In the beginning everything is difficult but you will play with PowerMock.This test will help you `AbstractSurefireMojoJava7PlusTest`. There are the same principles (mocking and verifying static method) you need to use for `ReflectionUtils`. Mock the class `ReflectionUtils` and its static method. You need to add `ReflectionUtils` to `@PrepareForTest( { AbstractSurefireMojo.class, ResolvePathsRequest.class } )`, then `mockStatic( ReflectionUtils.class );` and then use the paradightm: `when( ReflectionUtils.someStaticMethod( ... ) ).thenReturn( ... )`. Then call the method you wrote. And then verify that the algorithm went through IF-ELSE, ..., and verify expected number of calls with values, example: `verifyStatic( ResolvePathsRequest.class, times( 1 ) );` and verify values, example: `ArgumentCaptor<Exception> argument2 = ArgumentCaptor.forClass( Exception.class );` `verify( logger, times( 1 ) ).warn( argument1.capture(), argument2.capture() );` Finally you will see that it was simple. Feel free to start. Let's add the commit from my branch and create the test class and register the class in suite. Then we will create empty test methods. I will guide you. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
