| Hello my name is Panos, I am new to the list (although not to jmock since I've been using it for the last coupel of years). I came across a situation that I need to re-use some legacy code that has loads of calls to static methods. For example consider the following example class A { B.instance().sayHello(); } class B { public static instance() { ... return B; } public String sayHello() { return "hello"; } } I am testing class A with jMock. Is there a way to instruct jMock to completely ignore the call to B.instance().sayHello();? Normally this wouldn't be a problem but the call to instance() returns null sometimes and subsequently throws a npe. I know that I could refactor the code and use the Strategy pattern but refactoring it is out of the question, I cannot touch the legacy code. The other thing I can think of is to catch the npe and continue normally but this is not a good programming practice. So I am looking for a way (if there is any) to just ignore the static call. Any help is appreciated. Regards Panos |
