Does Braze use Context.getSharedPreferences under the hood in Braze.changeUser?

[alvindizon]

What problem are you facing?

Our app is currently using Braze SDK v21.0.0, and the recent updates to the Braze SDK have broken our unit tests. We basically have a wrapper class that stores a reference to a Braze object, and it is thru this wrapper that we log custom events, change users, etc.

We use MockK for unit tests and in one of our unit tests, we ran into this error: can't find stub Context(temporary mock) when testing our class that calls Braze.changeUser. Looking at the stack trace of the error, it seems to point to getSharedPreferences:

    at app//android.content.Context$Subclass2.getSharedPreferences(Unknown Source)
    at app//bo.app.e.a(SourceFile:10)
    at app//bo.app.e.getBoolean(SourceFile:1)
    at app//bo.app.v4.a(SourceFile:1)
    at app//com.braze.Braze$Companion.isDisabled(SourceFile:12)
    at app//com.braze.Braze.run$android_sdk_base_release(SourceFile:1)
    at app//com.braze.Braze.run$android_sdk_base_release$default(SourceFile:1)
    at app//com.braze.Braze.changeUser(SourceFile:2)
    at app//com.braze.Braze.changeUser(SourceFile:1)
    at app//com.someapp.analytics.BrazeWrapper.changeUser(BrazeWrapper..kt:20)

Could you enlighten us or provide advice on how to resolve this?

All Braze methods on the singleton can use sharedpreferences in order to accomplish the various actions of the SDK. In order to assist with your mocking, the SDK retrieves its application context via applicationContext = context.applicationContext where context is the one passed into the getInstance() method.
