Migrating from easymock 2.X to 5.x .org.easymock.MockControl is not found

[bishtjagmohan]

We have codes using org.easymock.MockControl but it's gone from 3.x onwards. What's the replacement for this?

[henri-tremblay]

What is the code?

[bishtjagmohan]

MockControl.createControl( clazz ) , control.verify() and many others. I see that it's stated to use EasyMock's static methods instead of these . But looking for like to like replacement for minimal change.

[henri-tremblay]

I don't think there ever was a MockControl.createControl. It would be more new MocksControl(). But yes, the replacement is EasyMock.createControl()

[bishtjagmohan]

Can we have this switch:
setDefaultReturnValue(Object value) > EasyMock.expectLastCall().andStubReturn(value);

MockControl.createControl(Class toMock) >EasyMock.createNiceMock()

[henri-tremblay]

No. They were removed since they felt not that useful.
I am waiting for someone to demonstrate a useful use case to add them back.
