gwtmockito and GXT

[fpezzati]

Hello,

I'm trying to build unit tests about widget who uses GWT 2.7.0 and GXT 3.1.4 components. Unfortunately as soon as test encounter a GXT component it raises a NullPointerException. Here is my dummy widget:

public class SomePanel {

private HorizontalPanel pnl; private Button btn; private Label lbl; private TextButton displaySome;

 public SomePanel() {
    pnl = new HorizontalPanel();
    btn = new Button("Hey");
    lbl = new Label("Unclicked");
    btn.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
            if ("Unclicked".equals(lbl.getText())) {
                lbl.setText("Clicked");
            } else {
                lbl.setText("Unclicked");
            }
        }
    });
    displaySome = new TextButton("Display some.");
  }

  public HorizontalPanel getPnl() {
    return pnl;
  }

  public Button getBtn() {
    return btn;
  }

  public Label getLbl() {
    return lbl;
  }

  public TextButton getDisplaySome() {
    return displaySome;
  }
}

And this is the test who goes wrong:

@RunWith(GwtMockitoTestRunner.class)
public class SomePanelTest {

  private SomePanel pnl;

  @Test
  public void checkLabels() {
    pnl = new SomePanel();
    Assert.assertEquals("Unclicked", pnl.getLbl().getText());
    pnl.getBtn().click();
    Assert.assertEquals("Clicked", pnl.getLbl().getText());
    pnl.getBtn().click();
    Assert.assertEquals("Unclicked", pnl.getLbl().getText());
    Assert.assertEquals("Display", pnl.getDisplaySome().getText());
  }
}

This is the exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.sencha.gxt.core.client.resources.CommonStyles.get(CommonStyles.java:96)
at com.sencha.gxt.widget.core.client.cell.CellComponent.createDefaultWrapperElement(CellComponent.java:55)

...

I would like to know if gwtmockito is the right tool to use together GXT (I am bound to GXT 3.1.4) and if it is, what am I missing then. TIA.

Most likely this means that there's a class inside GXT somewhere that's relying on a native method. Could you try annotating your test with either @WithClassesToStub(TextButton.class) or @WithClassesToSub(CommonStyle.class) and see if that helps?
