mockk: Bug: Newer Objenesis 2.7 introduced in 1.9.3 is failing in Android Instrumented Tests

I am running the latest version
I checked the documentation and found no answer
I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed

Failure Information (for bugs)

Building a test apk fails with MockK 1.9.3. No errors occur with MockK 1.9.2.

Context

MockK version: 1.9.3
Kotlin version: 1.3.21
JDK version: openjdk version “1.8.0_191”
Type of test: android instrumented test

This error occurs when building a test apk, not when running instrumented tests.

Expected Behavior

The build should be successful.

Current Behavior

The build fails:

$ ./gradlew :examples:mockk:assembleAndroidTest
D8: MethodHandle.invoke and MethodHandle.invokeExact are only supported starting with Android O (--min-api 26)

> Task :examples:mockk:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForDebugAndroidTest FAILED

Steps to reproduce

Run git clone https://github.com/tmurakami/dexopener.git && cd dexopener
Change mockk-android:1.9.2 near the end of the root build.gradle to mockk-android:1.9.3
Run ./gradlew :examples:mockk:assembleAndroidTest

The cause is that Objenesis 3.0.1 on which MockK 1.9.3 relies contains code using java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle that is not present in versions prior to Android 8.0. https://github.com/easymock/objenesis/blob/8f601c8ba1aa20bbc640e2c2bc48d55df52c489f/main/src/main/java/org/objenesis/instantiator/util/DefineClassHelper.java

Any news on this?

This can be worked-around globally by forcing objenesis 2.6:

allprojects {
  configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
      force("org.objenesis:objenesis:2.6")
    }
  }
}

A temporary workaround for this issue is to downgrade Objenesis to version 2.6, which does not contain code that calls MethodHandle.invokeExact.

androidTestImplementation('io.mockk:mockk-android:1.9.3') { exclude module: 'objenesis' }
androidTestImplementation 'org.objenesis:objenesis:2.6'

I just want to add a remark to this issue.

This thing with 1.9.3 happened by accident. It was a merged PR that was not properly tested (as one reason is because of the lack of automation for the instrumented tests). So big sorry regarding this trouble.

Recently for version 1.10.0, I was fighting not to raise minSdkVersion. The trick was to use old Objenesis as a dependency for instrumented tests and new Objenesis for everything else (JVM/Android unit test). And this time I devoted quite a lot of time to testing.

Same problem with 1.10.0

removing androidTestImplementation "io.mockk:mockk" and just add androidTestImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-android worked

Instead of adding +1 (which notifies everybody who is subscribed to this issue), you can thumb up the original description:

Apologies for THIS comment notifying everybody, but it’s for the greater good (to reduce future notifications 😛 )

@tmurakami ~~I fail to see what did the v1.10.0 do about this issue ? I just tried but it still behave exactly like 1.93.0~~

EDIT: Ok it did fix it, if anyone still has the issue be sure to remove the dependency to androidTestImplemention “io.mockk:mockk:1.10.0” which should leave only androidTestImplemention “io.mockk:mockk-android:1.10.0”

removing androidTestImplementation "io.mockk:mockk" and just add androidTestImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-android worked

Thank you, it worked for me.

trifonovkv on Jul 30, 2020

@oleksiyp please put an important label.

tmurakami on Sep 10, 2019

rolling back to 1.9.2 is another workaround.

GC-Xi on Jul 12, 2019

Same problem with 1.10.0. Downgrade to 1.9.0 solve my problem.

GustavoHSSantorio on Jun 3, 2020

This issue has been fixed in v1.10.0. Thank you!

tmurakami on Apr 21, 2020

None of the workarounds are doing anything for me. It would be good to get this sorted, as running instrumentation tests on API >= 26 only is not ideal. Thank you.

marcosalis on Feb 10, 2020

Unfortunately yes, use 1.9.2 or workaround. This issue is a result of merging contributed code and the fact that I am not experienced enough to build an automated test pipeline for Android Instrumented testing.

Furthermore, I think there is no easy way because the version of Objenesis before 3.0.1 doesn’t support Java 11(or Java 12, don’t remember) and version 3.0.1 doesn’t support AIT.

So one of ways would be to create bug in Objenesis to fix the problem there and afterwards just bump version to newer. In that way, it would be easy enough to take burden on testing and releasing a new version.

oleksiyp on Oct 19, 2019

I decided to give Mockk a try and this is the first error i get. I assume every user with 1.9.3 gets this error.
