com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException: Could not call

Question

I have a situation to test SpringCamelContext unittest with PowerMockito and I am receiving following error.Does anybody know how to resolve it. If I apply

@Rule
    public PowerMockRule rule = new PowerMockRule();

And the following dependencies.

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>
            <artifactId>powermock-module-junit4-rule</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.powermock</groupId>
            <artifactId>powermock-classloading-xstream</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

then only i am getting following error:

Does anybody know how to resolve it????

Answer 1

In order to resolve this Problem. I replaced it with following annotations instead of PowerMockRule.

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PowerMockRunnerDelegate(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

Also removed dependencies powermock-module-junit4-rule & powermock-classloading-xstream from Pom.xml and it works.
