I believe the original bug was patched in 1.7's 67 patch, but the bug still
seems to exist with PowerMock...

This is a show-stopper for our use of PowerMock. Are there plans on the
horizon? or is the recommendation to move to a different test library?

I wonder if PowerMock needs to be rebuilt with a newer JDK version.

There is a work-around for this issue: run the junit tests with a '-noverify'
jvm argument

I added a comment to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JASSIST-228 that suggest
another workaround for this problem. (unfortunatelly they are maintaining their
server currently and i cannot quote myself from there)
However, if you still feel that you need to have your java class file verifyed
(hence -noverify is out for you) you can use -XX:-UseSplitVerifier option when
you start your tests.
And if you are like me, and start your tests with maven, then you need to add
something similar to your pom.xml
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
<configuration>
<argLine>-XX:-UseSplitVerifier</argLine>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

I'm not sure if there's anything I can do from the PowerMock side to improve
this?

Issue 505 has been merged into this issue.

You must avoid branching before a super call.
You could change the ExprEditor in the MainMockTransformer Line 269-273 to use
no branching. Or use branching only if really needed and verify it. (I don't
know how to call the JVM verifier, using CtClasses
.toClass().getDeclaredConstructors() would throw a Exception) From thereon you
could show a nice error message explaining the details.

Could you help out and provide a pull request for this? That would be great.

Hmm I really would like to solve this but I'm not sure how to solve this
without branching..

Just disable constructor mocking if
CtClass ctClass = ClassPool.getDefault().makeClass("TestForBadOperandWhenInvokingInit");
// java.lang.VerifyError: Bad operand type when invoking <init>
ctClass.addConstructor(CtNewConstructor.make(new CtClass[0], new CtClass[0], "{if (1 != 2){ super();}}", ctClass));
final Class<?> clazz = ctClass.toClass();
clazz.getDeclaredConstructors();
throws an Exception and log it out. There is already a fix commited for the
next JDK version, so this bug should not haunt us for long.

I don't believe that this is a bug in the JDK. Oracle has decided to make their
byte code verification rules stricter-details here
http://www.takipiblog.com/oracles-latest-java-8-update-broke-your-tools-how-did-
it-happen/.
I also don't believe that there will be a fix in future versions of java as it
is not a bug it is a feature. Oracle Java 8u20 still has this "feature".
The suggestion to use the SplitVerifier may work in Java 7 but I believe that
the SplitVerifier has been removed in java 8. There is the option to turn off
verification completely for tests (ie -noverify) but the confidence is lost
that your code will work in production without this option and I don't think
disabling bytecode verification in production is a great idea.
The OpenJDK team may of reverted the change but I don't think oracle will be so
nice :)
The only real option is to fix the offending PowerMock class.

If you're right we need to figure out a way to fix it. How it works now is that
before the call to super the MockGateway is invoked to decide whether or not to
call the super method or call another constructor (generated by PowerMock).
This is used for constructor suppression (suppress(constructor(X.class))) if I
remember it correctly. All method invocations, field invocations etc works in
the same way (they all ask the MockGateway if they should continue or replace
the call with a mock). For constructors I'm not sure how to solve this unless
we insert this if statement (which I believe is the cause of the error) before
the super call in the constructor byte-code. If you have any ideas for a
workaround I would be really happy.
A really ugly work-around would be to let the user somehow configure PowerMock
not to byte-code manipulate constructors (if you don't need to use this
functionality). That way I assume that some errors can go away but PowerMock
will be left in a degraded state. Not sure if I want to go down this route..
However I've been thinking about implementing something like this before to
speed up the byte-code manipulation (such as turing off field interception
which is quite slow and not used very often afaik).

Hey guys, any progress on this?
It is affecting us too.
Thanks.

ctClass.addConstructor(CtNewConstructor.make(new CtClass[0], new CtClass[0],
"{if (1 != 2){ super();}}", ctClass));
Looks like this line makes new constructor with code. Right?
{if (1 != 2){ super();}}". Not sure why 1 != 2 check is needed but this is what
is causing the problem. the first thing you have to invoke in the constructor
is the super constructor. So probably it should be something like this
{super(); if (1 != 2) {}}

This might be the simplified version you could use to reproduce the error..
The original code is:
code.append("if(value ==
").append(MockGateway.class.getName()).append(".PROCEED) {");
code.append(" $_ = $proceed($$);");
code.append("} else {");
code.append(" $_ =
").append(getCorrectReturnValueType(returnTypeAsCtClass)).append(";");
code.append("}}");
It is there to decide if another constructor should be called.. that code must
be changed to call super() first. YOu would loose the ability of on demand
constructor mocking.. or you would have to replace the mocked constructors
during mocking.

So I had a chat to some of of the developers here and I've learnt that the
Oracle JDK is built on top of OpenJDK so any fixes made in OpenJDK will find
their way through to the Oracle JDK. Therefore this "feature" has been reverted
as per this issue https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8051012 and we just
need to wait for the relevant version to be released. For java 8 it looks like
8u20 b31 has it fixed, the latest public release is for 8u20 is b26 so the fix
hasn't been released yet. I couldn't find a release date for build 31 anywhere.

That's weird - same OS and same build and update version here. I'm not sure
what the difference is there.

Perhaps you have different test scenarios? It works in some cases but fails in
others?! But then it could be another issue altogether?

Simply to give another voice, installing jdk1.7.0_72 fixed this for me as well.

For reference, the bug that is apparently fixed is:
http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8051012
It is referenced from this page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/2col/7u72-bugfixes-2298229.html
I presume the bug isn't marked as resolved, because update 72, is some weird
sort of halfway release, where Oracle recommends you use update 71 unless you
need fixes from 72:

This issue is present for me I tried 72.
It works with the UseSplitVerifier option. But, that will be deprecated:
https://code.google.com/p/powermock/issues/detail?id=504
So, unless this is fixed, will have to migrate to a different framework. I'll
take a look to the code later on to see if there is something I can help with.

for Java SE 8u20
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
add the following to pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12.4</version>
<configuration>
<argLine>-noverify</argLine>
</configuration>
</plugin>
It should work if you are using Java SE 8u25
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)
