| Re: [equinox-dev] Class loader, class space, protection domai, package private things and fragments |
Just to clarify:
- the access happens from within a JUnit test defined in a fragment
- the JUnit test can *access* the package private methods without problems (in OSGi and outside)
- Mockito mock/spy runs fine in a non-OSGi environment
- Mockity mock/spy runs fine in an Eclipse JUnit Plug-in test environment
- Mockity mock/spy fails in OSGi-Tycho-Surefire environment

This is probably because package-private accessibility in the JVM is based on the concept of “runtime packages”.
A runtime package is a package loaded by a particular classloader. If some classes have the same package name but are loaded by a different classloader then they are NOT part of the same runtime package, so do not have access to the package-private members and would throw IllegalAccessError.
Very few people seem to know about this area of the Java specification! It means that the javac compiler actually has no idea whether some code has access to a private-package member, since it doesn’t know how you will arrange your classloaders at runtime. Of course in OSGi we have multiple classloaders. Mockito would probably fail in the same way outside of OSGi if you loaded it in a different classloader from the classes it is trying to mock…

I fixed the problems with signing upstream in cglib. :) Hopefully it
ends up in Mockito one day.
But the other problem I have with Mockito is that it can't mock package
private methods in an OSGi environment. It works outside of OSGi. Thus,
when a class is defined in a bundle and has package private methods,
those methods can be accessed in the test fragment. However, mocking
those fails in OSGi. Oh and to make the problem even more complex, it
does not fail when run as "JUnit Plug-in Test" from within Eclipse but
when run as Tycho Surefire test from within a Maven Tycho build. But as
soon as I make the methods protected it works.
