PowerMockito mock static didn't work correctly

I have a class need to be tested:
public class TestClazz {
public void abc() {
List<String> sa = Collections.singletonList("sa");
Stream<PropertySource<?>> stream = StreamSupport.stream(Mockito.mock(Spliterator.class), false);
ICampaignHandler campaignHandler = CampaignHandlerFactory.getCampaignHandler(ProcessorTypeEnum.RETRY_CAMPAIGN);
System.out.println("============INSIDE ABC===========");
System.out.println(sa);
System.out.println(stream);
System.out.println(campaignHandler);
//Other logic code
}
}
And a test class:
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest({ Collections.class, StreamSupport.class, CampaignHandlerFactory.class})
public class DefaultSystemAppConfigServiceTest {
#Test
public void testing() {
PowerMockito.mockStatic(StreamSupport.class);
PowerMockito.mockStatic(Collections.class);
PowerMockito.mockStatic(CampaignHandlerFactory.class);
//Stubbing
Mockito.when(StreamSupport.stream(Mockito.any(Spliterator.class), Mockito.anyBoolean()))
.thenReturn(Mockito.mock(Stream.class));
Mockito.when(Collections.singletonList(Mockito.any()))
.thenReturn(Mockito.mock(List.class));
Mockito.when(CampaignHandlerFactory.getCampaignHandler(Mockito.any()))
.thenReturn(Mockito.mock(ICampaignHandler.class));
//Here invoked method under test
new TestClazz().abc();
Stream<PropertySource<?>> stream = StreamSupport.stream(Mockito.mock(Spliterator.class), false);
List<String> sa = Collections.singletonList("sa");
ICampaignHandler campaignHandler = CampaignHandlerFactory.getCampaignHandler(ProcessorTypeEnum.RETRY_CAMPAIGN);
System.out.println();
System.out.println("============OUTSIDE ABC===========");
System.out.println(sa);
System.out.println(stream);
System.out.println(campaignHandler);
}
}
I have to mock statics call so that it return as my expectation
I followed steps:
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest({ Collections.class, StreamSupport.class, CampaignHandlerFactory.class})
PowerMockito.mockStatic(clazz)
Mockito.when(method call).thenReturn(my mock)
Invoke method need to be tested
The result:
============INSIDE ABC===========
[sa]
java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$Head#dffa30b
Mock for ICampaignHandler, hashCode: 81269359
============OUTSIDE ABC===========
Mock for List, hashCode: 628164202
Mock for Stream, hashCode: 1962826086
Mock for ICampaignHandler, hashCode: 81269359
Process finished with exit code 0
You guys can see 2/3 my stubbing setup does not work if the static calls are inside abc(), and it works if I copy static call outside abc() (copy to testing() directly). Only 1/3 stubbing works (inside and outside):
CampaignHandlerFactory.getCampaignHandler(param) //this return as my expectiation
Hint: CampaignHandlerFactory is my implementation; Collections, StreamSupport are built-in classes. This is spring boot application

Question: So what is the problem here? Why my stubbing does not work if the static calls are inside abc(), but only CampaignHandlerFactory works?
Is there versions conflict?

java.util.Collections and java.util.stream.StreamSupport are system classes (Language and utility libraries that are part of JRE). The caller of the system class should be defined in #PrepareForTest({ClassThatCallsTheSystemClass.class}).
See documentation.
The way to go about mocking system classes are a bit different than
usual though. Normally you would prepare the class that contains the
static methods (let's call it X) you like to mock but because it's
impossible for PowerMock to prepare a system class for testing so
another approach has to be taken. So instead of preparing X you
prepare the class that calls the static methods in X!
So you need to add TestClazz.class into #PrepareForTest.
Correct definition:
#PrepareForTest({ CampaignHandlerFactory.class, TestClazz.class})
Execution test result:

Could not initialize class LoggerContext after upgrading to log4j 2.17.1

I have just tried to upgrade the log4j library from version 2.3 to 2.17.1 to fix the well-known vulnerabilities that were discovered a few weeks ago. I am new to Maven, so I have little idea of what I am doing.
First, I changed my pom.xml project file and added all the log4j dependencies that I needed. I might have gone a little too far and only needed log4j-core and log4j-api, but just in case I added all of these:
...
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>2.17.1</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
<version>2.17.1</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
<version>2.17.1</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-1.2-api</artifactId>
<version>2.17.1</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.17.1</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
...
After doing this, the project compiles successfully if I run mvn clean package -U -Dmaven.test.skip=true. However, if I try to run the tests, I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext

I tried to modify the scope of the dependencies to runtime or test, but it does not seem to change anything. Do any of you know how to solve this? If you further loggings, don't hesitate to comment.

Here is my mvn dependency:tree -Dlog4j:

Tomcat can't start with SpringBoot war. Missing Class exception LocalizableMessageFactory$ResourceBundleSupplier

I have a SpringBoot2.2.5 That runs perfectly when running standalone. It is a REST app that serves both json and XML. Once we deploy it to one of our tomcat servers (Tomcat 8.5.38) it fails (see error below).
I searched all over to try and find the class in question but have no idea where it would be or what jar I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unit test of code using Hibernate Validator fails with Unable to initialize 'javax.el.ExpressionFactory'

I'm attempting to use Hibernate Validator in an API gateway framework. The code eventually runs in Karaf, but I'm trying to get a unit test (not a PAX test) working first. I'll be using Mockito for mocking, but I don't think that's an issue yet.
I'm using "hibernate-validator" and "hibernate-validator-annotation-processor", version 5.4.1.Final.
When I run the test, I get the following:
HV000183: Unable to initialize 'javax.el.ExpressionFactory'. Check that you have the EL dependencies on the classpath, or use ParameterMessageInterpolator instead
From other occurrences of this, I concluded that I have to add "org.glassfish:javax.el:3.0.0". Unfortunately, this had no effect. Exact same exception.
Update:
Some advice I've seen said to REMOVE the "javax.el-api" artifact. I found this referenced in one POM, so I commented it out. I also noticed that the "cdi-api" artifact appears to pull it in transitively, so I also commented that out.
Unfortunately, "mvn dependency:tree" still shows the 2.2.5 version of "javax.el-api" showing up, along with the 3.0.0 version of the glassfish "javax.el" artifact.
How do I get past this?
Update:
I've now updated my dependencies so that I have only "javax.el", version 3.0.1-b08, no "api" variant, but I'm still getting the error.
Here's my current dependency tree:

I have had the same error even after adding a dependency to org.glassfish:javax.el:3.0.1-b08. The issue turned out to be transitive dependencies being pulled in that include javax.el.ExpressionFactory but have no implementation.
The following command will output all the dependencies that include javax.el.ExpressionFactory
for i in $(mvn dependency:build-classpath | grep '.m2' | tr ':' ' '); do
jar -tvf $i | grep 'javax/el/ExpressionFactory' && echo -e "\t$i"
done 2> /dev/null
I then used <exclusions> in my pom.xml to remove the jars that do not match org.glassfish:javax.el:3.0.1-b08.
The exclusions may end up removing code in the excluded Jars that is needed as well. In my case I had to find a replacement jar that provided an embedded Jetty Server.

So, you really need only one version of the el jar. And it should be:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.el</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1-b08</version>
</dependency>
As for the other el jars, you need to exclude them from your dependencies. The dependency tree should help you as you are able to see where they come from.
Just use an exclusion on the dependencies transitively bringing the old el jars and be sure you don't reference it explicitly in your poms and it should work.
The other solution, as mentioned by the error message, is to use a message interpolator not using EL but I wouldn't recommend it as some built-in constraints use EL in their messages and you will probably need it for your own constraints.

Dropwizard: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire the logger context

I have a project which is having multiple modules within it. One of the module, say "main", is having my service class, "MyService.class". Dropwizard has a jar - dropwizard-core. I want this jar in more than one module, so I was thinking of keeping its dependency in parent POM. By doing that, while running my dropwizard service file, I am encountering an exception as follows:
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.<br>
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/home/username/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-simple/1.7.12/slf4j-simple-1.7.12.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]<br>
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/home/username/.m2/repository/ch/qos/logback/logback-classic/1.1.3/logback-classic-1.1.3.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]<br>
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation.<br>
SLF4J: Actual binding is of type [org.slf4j.impl.SimpleLoggerFactory]<br><br>
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire the logger context
at io.dropwizard.logging.LoggingUtil.getLoggerContext(LoggingUtil.java:46)
at io.dropwizard.logging.BootstrapLogging.bootstrap(BootstrapLogging.java:45)
at io.dropwizard.logging.BootstrapLogging.bootstrap(BootstrapLogging.java:34)
at io.dropwizard.Application.<init>(Application.java:24)
at my.project.package.MyService.<init>(MyService.java:31)
at my.project.package.MyService.main(MyService.java:38)
This project runs perfectly fine if I put the dependency in the POM of "main" module.
Dropwizard is binding with wrong logger and that is the reason behind this exception. But this binding happens in the background and I have no control over it.
I am also sharing the dependency tree for both the scenarios.

If anyone could come up with a possible reasoning, it would be of great help.
Thanks.

Your problem is that you have two different slf4j implementations (aka bindings) in your classpath and this shouldn't be the case.
When this happens, the first one (in order of appearance in the classpath) is used by slf4j. Then dropwizard LoggingUtil tries to retrieve the actual ILoggerFactory but expects it to be an instance of logback's LoggerContext.
In your case, it is an instance of SimpleLoggerFactory because slf4j-simple appears first in the classpath when you declare the dependency to dropwizard-core in the the parent POM: indeed, the logback-classic dependency is brought by dropwizard-core.
The solution is very simple: you must remove the dependency to slf4j-simple.
This is explained at the very beginning of the slf4j manual.

The issue is resolved for me after I globally excluded the jar slf4j-log4j12 by adding the below in my build.gradle
configurations.all {
exclude group:"org.slf4j", module: "slf4j-log4j12"
}

Sometimes you cannot exclude library because it is used by another libraries. So, you need to have two implementations. I had such problem so I in my model of Configuration which extends io.dropwizard.Configuration model I override method
#Override
public synchronized LoggingFactory getLoggingFactory() {
return new ExternalLoggingFactory();
}
