PowerMockito @PrepareForTest disables JaCoCo

[mmert1988]

When using PowerMock in the unit tests, the classes declared with @PrepareForTest don't get coverage info due to following error:

[ant:jacocoReport] Classes in bundle 'app' do no match with execution data. For report generation the same class files must be used as at runtime.
[ant:jacocoReport] Execution data for class com/example/android/ExampleClassA does not match.
[ant:jacocoReport] Execution data for class com/example/android/ExampleClassB does not match.

After a small research I've found out that it's a known issue of jacoco regarding javassist/javaagent:

https://github.com/powermock/powermock/issues/422 https://github.com/jacoco/eclemma/issues/15

But unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the fix of the issue, as suggested for maven by using the custom java agent of PowerMock library, to work for gradle, because I couldn't declare a jar file from dependencies (powermock-api-mockito2-1.7.4.jar) as a custom java agent in gradle, as done in this workaround:

It failed, since the java plugin is conflicting with the android plugin.

I found a workaround to this issue. Basically, you'll need to create a new Test-class for the class prepared for test by Powermock. This will reset any changes made by PowerMock to the class.

Could you provide an example with working code?
