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)

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.

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")
    }
  }
}

oleksiyp on 28 Mar 2019

Having the same issue. Actually came to report it. Please help look into. Thanks!

IEnoobong on 28 Mar 2019

I saw some Stack Overflow posts where people got around this type of error (not this one specifically) by specifying in gradle:

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_<whatever version is needed>
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_<whatever version is needed>
    }

but I'm not sure what jdk is required for java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle; the ones I tried didn't fix the issue.

mateot1 on 2 Apr 2019

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'

Are there any updates on this? We have the same issue as well. None of the temporary workarounds work for us

If there is no workarounds I'll try to address this one today/tomorrow

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

rolling back to 1.9.2 is another workaround.

This is a major blocking to all Android consumers.
I hope it will be solved at some point or we need to stick with @PaulWoitaschek workaround forever...

matpag on 10 Sep 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.

ArthurSav on 19 Oct 2019

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.

I am facing similar issue. Any fix for this yet?

Another temporary workaround for testing on devices API 26+ (which supports mentioned java 8 features)

pros: no manipulations with dependencies
cons: devices from yourMinSdk to API 26 remains out of the scope

Solution: use product flavors to override minSdk:

    flavorDimensions "testing"
    productFlavors {
        product {
            // nothing
        }
        // Temp fix for issue https://github.com/mockk/mockk/issues/281
        uiTest {
            dimension "testing"
            minSdkVersion 26
        }
    }

Then we can run AndroidTests with gradle:

gradlew connectedUiTestDebug

P.S. due to our manipulations with flavors Unit tests now runs as follows:

gradlew testProductDebug
or 
gradlew testProductRelease

CeH9 on 5 Nov 2019

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.

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

tmurakami on 21 Apr 2020

@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"

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. Downgrade to 1.9.0 solve my problem.
