NativeTest (aotTestClasses) fails on the mock bean.

[hadson172]

My tests contain the following mock :

    @MockkBean
    lateinit var myService: MyService

@MockkBean is from package import com.ninjasquad.springmockk.MockkBean

When i run ./gradlew aotTestClasesses I am getting error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to generate code for '[MockkDefinition@72f855b9 name = [null], typeToMock = com.myApp.MyService, extraInterfaces = set[[empty]], clear = AFTER]' with type ?

It may be problem with mockkbean dependency but I am wondering if there is any workaround for this from spring/graalvm side?
Thanks
Spring boot 3.1.3

Mockito isn't supported in native tests. Duplicates #32195.

Sorry, I misread @MockkBean as @MockBean.

There's no way for us to work around Mockk not supporting AOT and native. This will have to be addressed in Mockk.

@wilkinsona Any advices how to handle mocking beans in tests on graalvm ? Thanks

Personally, I wouldn't run tests that require mocking in a native image as I think the benefits are minimal at best and are outweighed by the time that it takes to build the image. If you want to test a native image, I would build the main native image and then exercise it with an approach that's closer to end-to-end testing.
