Using both Arquillian and PowerMock in the same JUnit test

Question

I would like to use the features of both Arquillian and PowerMock in the same JUnit 4 test.

The problem is that both products are JUnit Runners which should be used with @RunWith, and this is not possible to use multiple @RunWith on the same test class, or to put multiple Runners class in the same @RunWith annotation.

Do you know any way to do that ?

Thanks, I've edited my question in order to be more precise. — Anthony O., Feb 29 '12 at 10:12

You can use PowerMock without using the runner if you use the PowerMockRule (which is a TestRule). From the PowerMockRule:

Since version 1.4 it's possible to bootstrap PowerMock using a JUnit Rule instead of using the PowerMockRunner and the RunWith annotation. This allows you to use other JUnit runners while still benefiting from PowerMock's functionality. You do this by specifying:

@RunWith(Arquillian.class);
public class MyTest {
    @Rule
    PowerMockRule rule = new PowerMockRule();

    // Tests goes here
    ...
}

See also the answers to Junit Parameterized tests together with Powermock - how? and the following thread in the PowerMock google group: Using PowerMock without the RunWith?.

@Mattew Farwell: This does not work for me. I get: `java.lang.IllegalStateException: PowerMockRule can only be used with the system classloader but was loaded by ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.test.war:main" from Service Module Loader`. What can I do to use Arquillian and PowerMock together? — badera, May 13 '16 at 05:42

No, you either need to:

use one and create a test base class that does the things you wanted the other runner to do.
separate your test into multiple tests, each using different runners.

JUnit4 only supports one @RunWith annotation, and JUnit4's @RunWith annotation doesn’t accept multiple runners.
