mock static without @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)

Question

I have folowing code:

        @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
        @PrepareForTest({RequestUtils.class, OsgiUtil.class})
        @PowerMockIgnore({"*"})
        public class MyTest
            ...
             @Test
             public somMethod(){    
                ....  
                mockStatic(RequestUtils.class);
                when(RequestUtils.getLocale(request)).thenReturn(locale);
            }
        }

How to replace this code so that it work without @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)?

According the cause described in following link I cannot use @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)

If you cannot use `@RunWith` you do not need annotations. Do you want to create mocks using annotation but without using `@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)`? — AlexR, Jun 10 '14 at 13:01

Take a look on this discussion: issues while using @RunWith Annotation and powerMock

One of the answers recommends to use PowerMockRule instead of runner. This solution should be good for you.

I don't understand hpe to mock static using PowerMockRule – gstackoverflow Jun 10 '14 at 13:18
Rule is not instead of `mockStatic`. It is instead of using runner. To mock static just call method `mockStatic` exactly as you do. This method is implemented in at least 2 classes: one for EasyMock, other for Mockito. – AlexR Jun 10 '14 at 13:33
where should I write rule? How should I use it in my code? – gstackoverflow Jun 10 '14 at 13:36
Please follow the link I provided into my answer. There is an example here. Look for answer given by @gontard. – AlexR Jun 10 '14 at 13:38
