Re: GWT 2.7/GwtMockito: History support

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I'll look into putting a layer between GWT (at least the parts that use static helpers) and our application code then. For now the ugliness works, and I guess I'll be able to use it also in similar other situations.

Regards,

 Its good practice for a library to hide implementation details because you do not want developers to accidentally or knowingly depend on these details. I am pretty sure other features of GwtMockito look equally "ugly", because GwtMockito itself is a huge hack to circumvent GWT.create() and JSNI in unit tests.

Often you can also just refactor your app a bit so it does not directly call such GWT methods. You can wrap them in helper classes like HistoryTokenEncoder that you can swap out during testing or wrap them using a helper method that can be overwritten in tests (anonymously or by sub classing)
