JMockit 1.10 causes linkage errors when used with eclEmma or Cobertura

[drath3000]

I have a project that I am putting unit tests together against and after upgrading to JMockit 1.10 are now receiving the following exception when running these unit tests from within both EclEmma and Cobertura:

java.lang.LinkageError: loader (instance of  sun/misc/Launcher$AppClassLoader): attempted  duplicate class definition for name: "my/package/TestMyClass$3"

I initially started with JUnit (4.11) tests but have since migrated these across to TestNG (6.8.8) with the same issue. When I run these unit tests alone, they all pass (JUnit and TestNG), however when I attempt to get code coverage from within Eclipse a number of these appear to fail with the linkage error above.

I have also downgraded to JMockit 1.9 and most of my tests pass except for a couple which require functionality in 1.10 so I am assuming that there is some sort of incompatibility between JMockit and the code coverage tools I have been using.

I am using:

• Eclipse (Luna)
  • Windows 7
  • Java 1.7.0_67 (64 bit)
  • TestNG 6.8.8
  • JMockit 1.10
  • Cobertura 0.9.8
  • EclEmma 2.3.1

I have been able to recreate this in a small example below.

I have an EJB that looks like the following

package my.pkg;

import javax.inject.Singleton;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.persistence.Query;

@Singleton
public class MyBean {

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager em;

    public Object doSomething (String value) {
        Query query = em.createNamedQuery("SomeQuery");

        Object objReturned = query.getSingleResult();

        return objReturned;
    }

}

I then have the TestNG class as follows:

package my.pkg;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.Query;

import mockit.Expectations;
import mockit.Injectable;
import mockit.Mocked;
import mockit.Tested;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class TestMyBean {

    @Tested MyBean myBean;  

    @Mocked Query query;

    @Test public void 
    should_test_something(@Injectable final EntityManager em) {

        new Expectations() {{
            em.createNamedQuery(anyString); returns (query);

            query.getSingleResult(); returns (new Object());
        }};

        myBean.doSomething("A value");
    }

}

When I run the test on it's own, everything works fine. If I run either EclEmma or Cobertura with the above test using JMockit 1.9, my code coverage is reported correctly. However, when the test is run using JMockit 1.10 and a code coverage tool such as EclEmma or Cobertura I end up with a LinkageError being reported like this one:

I am also still encountering the same problem with JMockit 1.12. It seems that the LinkageError is, for me at least, caused by the mere presence of an expectations block.

• Eclipse Luna 4.4.0
• EclEmma 2.3.2.201409141915
• JUnit 4.11
• Java 1.7

The below code reproduces the error on my environment.

import mockit.Mocked;
import mockit.NonStrictExpectations;

import org.junit.Test;

class MyClass {

    public int myMethod() {
        return 17;
    }
}

public class TestJacocoLinkageError {

    @Mocked
    MyClass myClass;

    @Test
    public void testWithoutExpectations() {
        myClass.myMethod();
    }

    @Test
    public void testWithExpectations() {

        new NonStrictExpectations() {
            {
                myClass.myMethod();
                result = 42;
            }
        };
    }
}
