Description

Attempting to use instructions in http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/Using+MockFor+and+StubFor to mock a static method.

I get groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: static for class: groovy.mock.interceptor.Demand
in:

import groovy.mock.interceptor.StubFor

class StorefrontService { 
    String useStaticMethod(String forDeviceModel) { return Compatibility.list(forDeviceModel) }
}

class Compatibility {
    static def list(String deviceModel) { return 'static-' + it }
}

def mock = new StubFor(Compatibility)
mock.demand.static.list { return 'static-mock-' + deviceModel }
mock.use {
    println new StorefrontService().useStaticMethod('bc')
}
