Getting java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub when running Robolectric through Maven

Question

Well, I'm having a strange bug. When I run my test through the IntelliJ, it passes without any problem. But if I run it using either the sure-fire plugin or the 'mvn clean test' command, I get the following exception:

shouldLoadMoreDataOnScrollBeyondTheThreshold(br.com.cybereagle.androidwidgets.listener.EndlessScrollListenerTest)  Time elapsed: 2.73 sec  <<< ERROR!
java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub!

This is my test:

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@Config(manifest = Config.NONE)
public class EndlessScrollListenerTest {

    private ListView listView;
    private EndlessScrollListener endlessScrollListener;

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        listView = mock(ListView.class);

        when(listView.getHeaderViewsCount()).thenReturn(0);
        when(listView.getFooterViewsCount()).thenReturn(0);


        endlessScrollListener = spy(new TestEndlessScrollListener(5));
    }

    @Test
    public void shouldLoadMoreDataOnScrollBeyondTheThreshold() {
        doReturn(true).when(endlessScrollListener).hasMoreDataToLoad();

        assertTrue(endlessScrollListener.isLoading());

        endlessScrollListener.onScroll(listView, 2, 5, 20);

        assertFalse(endlessScrollListener.isLoading());

        endlessScrollListener.onScroll(listView, 15, 5, 20);

        assertTrue(endlessScrollListener.isLoading());


        endlessScrollListener.onScroll(listView, 21, 5, 40);

        assertFalse(endlessScrollListener.isLoading());

        endlessScrollListener.onScroll(listView, 35, 5, 40);

        assertTrue(endlessScrollListener.isLoading());

        endlessScrollListener.onScroll(listView, 38, 5, 60);

        assertFalse(endlessScrollListener.isLoading());

        doReturn(false).when(endlessScrollListener).hasMoreDataToLoad();

        endlessScrollListener.onScroll(listView, 55, 5, 60);

        assertFalse(endlessScrollListener.isLoading());


        verify(endlessScrollListener, atMost(6)).hasMoreDataToLoad();
        verify(endlessScrollListener, times(1)).loadMoreData(1);
        verify(endlessScrollListener, times(1)).loadMoreData(2);
        verify(endlessScrollListener, never()).loadMoreData(3);
    }

    private static class TestEndlessScrollListener extends EndlessScrollListener {

        private TestEndlessScrollListener(int visibleThreshold) {
            super(visibleThreshold);
        }

        @Override
        protected boolean hasMoreDataToLoad() {
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        protected void loadMoreData(int page) {

        }
    }
}

The error happens in the first assertTrue:

assertTrue(endlessScrollListener.isLoading());

The most strange thing is that according to the stacktrace, it happens inside the assertTrue method.

These are my maven dependencies:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>android</groupId>
        <artifactId>android</artifactId>
        <version>${android.version}</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.android</groupId>
        <artifactId>support-v4</artifactId>
        <version>${support.v4.version}</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.android</groupId>
        <artifactId>support-v7-appcompat</artifactId>
        <version>${support.v7.version}</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
        <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.robolectric</groupId>
        <artifactId>robolectric</artifactId>
        <version>${robolectric.version}</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId>
        <artifactId>hamcrest-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>4.8.2</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

As I said, it works inside the IntelliJ.

Another detail is that I have another project that generates a JAR that is using the Robolectric normally both from IntelliJ and from Maven.

Any idea of what is happening?

just small comment about your tests - it is too many assertions per test. Does number of these scroll events or coordinates change a lot? If not I would leave only one. I also would split test into two - one for check that is loading if there is data, one of that it's not loading if there is no data. — Eugen Martynov

Well, my problem was that I was importing from the wrong package:

import static junit.framework.Assert.assertFalse;
import static junit.framework.Assert.assertTrue;

I changed it to:

import static org.junit.Assert.assertFalse;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;

Now it's working as expected. I don't know why it was working in the IntelliJ.

Fernando, try the 'fest-assert' library for assertions. It is quite addictive and extends assertions possibility and readbility

Fernando Camargo Over a year ago

I'm starting to use it. Actually, I'm using only the fest-android yet. I have to get used to using the fest. Thank you for remembering.

For JUnit5 this will be org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions

That is silly but moving dependency of junit and put it before android dependencies will solve your issue. So your maven should be like this:

depndencies
-junit
-android

Thanks for your answer, but it's not my problem. I fixed it and I'll post the answer now.

Move the junit dependency up the chain on your referenced libraries and it will work. see here
