How do I configure PowerMock to use Mockito's mock-maker-inline feature

1. Understanding the Issue**

2. Enabling `mock-maker-inline` with PowerMock**

3. Configuring PowerMock**

1. Create a Configuration File:**
- In your project, navigate to the `src/test/resources` directory.
- Create a directory named `org/powermock/extensions` if it doesn't exist.
- Inside this directory, create a file named `configuration.properties`.

2. Set the Mock Maker:**
- Open the `configuration.properties` file and add the following line to specify that you want to use Mockito's `mock-maker-inline`:

properties
     mockito.mock-maker-class=mock-maker-inline
     

3. Using `mock-maker-inline` with PowerMock Tests:**
- When writing tests with PowerMock, ensure you use the `@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)` annotation at the class level.
- Use `@PrepareForTest` to specify the classes that you want to mock.

However, keep in mind that using both PowerMock and Mockito's `mock-maker-inline` can lead to classloader issues or other conflicts, as noted in some GitHub issues[6].

4. Alternative Approach**

Example of Using PowerMock with Mockito

java
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({YourClassToMock.class})
public class YourTest {

    @Test
    public void testYourMethod() {
        // Mocking using PowerMockito
        YourClassToMock mock = PowerMockito.mock(YourClassToMock.class);
        
        // Setup expectations
        PowerMockito.when(mock.yourMethod()).thenReturn("Mocked Value");
        
        // Use the mock in your test
        String result = mock.yourMethod();
        
        // Verify the result
        assert result.equals("Mocked Value");
    }
}
