[aspectj-users] around advice for constructor call

[Sojan Mathew <sojanmathew@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi AspectJ Community Members,

I'm using AOP for unit testing purpose. (to replace external dependency).

In my app, I'm creating object of ClassA (which is present in external lib). I want to byepass constructor call of ClassA .  I tried "call" pointcut and around advice as below, but it is not working

pointcut callClassANew() : call(  ClassA.new());

void around() : callClassANew() {

System.out.println("[AspectJ]callClassANew "+thisJoinPoint);

}

Error :

[AppClassLoader@fabe9] error at LibMocks.aj:28::0 applying to join point that doesn't return void: constructor-call(void ClassA.<init>())

[AppClassLoader@fabe9] error at AppTest.java:160::0 applying to join point that doesn't return void: constructor-call(void ClassA.<init>())

Thank you in advance for the support

Regards

Sojan
