By the language rules none of you asserts should fire but do exhibit the compiler issues. These are some of the bug reports, note that they are … Read more

The comment from Michał Stochmal provides an example: use ReflectionTestUtils.setField(bean, “fieldName”, “value”); before invoking your bean method during test. Check out this tutorial for even more information, although you probably won’t need it since the method … Read more

Behaves like one: x is initialized. int x1{5}; int y0(); // Fail. Actually a function declaration. … Read more
