VerifyError with ShinobiControls and Robolectric

Question

I'm running into this strange VerifyError when trying to run Robolectric tests that call ShinobiControls under the hood. I've tried the -noverify option, but it doesn't seem to be working, or I'm putting it in the wrong place.

I'm using Retrolambda, Java 8, Robolectric (3.0), and Shinobi Premium (1.8.0).

java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 18

Answer 1

Basically, we are facking shinobi view. We have next construction:

public class ShinobyView {
    @VisibleForTesting
    @NonNull
    protected ChartView getShinobiChart(@NonNull final LayoutInflator inflator, @NonNull final ViewGroup chartContainer) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.shinobi_chart, chartContainer, false);
    }

    @NonNull
    public View createView(@NonNull context context) {
       ...
       ChratView view = getShinobiChart(inflator, container);
       container.addView(view, <some layout params>);
       ...
    }
}

And in test we fake it:

public class TestShinobyView {
    @Override
    @NonNull
    protected ChartView 
    getShinobiChart(@NonNull final LayoutInflator inflator, @NonNull final ViewGroup chartContainer) {
        return new View(activity);
    }
}

If you want to verify that you also correctly setup shinobi charts then you need to mock ShinobiChart and return not View but faked ShinobiView
