Restricted Identifier Error in Eclipse when using Mockitos when [message #1861681] Fri, 27 October 2023 03:49 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend

Eclipse shows an Error (Syntax error on token "RestrictedIdentifierWhen", delete this token) when using the Mockito when method which is a static import.

Often the error is just shown for the first occurence of a 'when' in a test Method.

If i see it correctly 'when' is only restricted for identifiers in a 'switch case' statement.

Workarround is to use the fully qualified name org.mockito.Mockito.when.

I use the following version:

Eclipse JDT (Java Development Tools) Patch with Java 21 support for 2023-09 development stream 1.2.300.v20230920-0334_BETA_JAVA21 org.eclipse.jdt.java21patch.feature.group Eclipse.org

If you think there is a problem, best to report it here:

https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core

Please provide sufficient detail (i.e., test case) for someone else to reproduce the problem.

You might want to check that https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2023-12/m2 hasn't already fixed the problem...
