Here is something that worked for me:

@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.xml.*", "org.xml.sax.*", "org.w3c.dom.*",  "org.springframework.context.*", "org.apache.log4j.*"})

If this is a PowerMock related problem, then you can try to annotate you test class with:

@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.xml.parsers.*", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.*"})

The above trick is not working for me. The interesting part is I get the above exception only when there is a problem(which can through some exception) in my test code. Instead of throwing actual exception it is always throwing the above ClassCastException. – Ramesh Feb 05 '13 at 11:42
The exception is thrown when log4j is invoked. it's not really related with exceptions – cattox Apr 16 '15 at 17:54

You can ignore the log4j.. I have the same problem with jptool logger. And I already resolved by ignoring it Here is my code @PowerMockIgnore({"jptools."})

This is a PowerMock problem, I had this error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class sun.security.provider.ConfigFile

that you can resolve with this annotation, try to annotate you test class with :

@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.management.*", "java.lang.*", "javax.security.*" })

You can create a configuration.properties file in test/resources/org/powermock/extensions/ with content:

powermock.global-ignore=org.apache.xerces.*,javax.xml.parsers.*,org.xml.sax.*

Note: Comma separation and NO spaces in the property value, otherwise, it will not work! The list of packages depends on the dependencies of your project.

PowerMock Configuration here.

I had a similar issue with PowerMock v1.5.1 and Log4j 2.19.0

To fix it, I added org.apache.logging.logj4.* to my existing @PowerMockIgnore annotation like so:

@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.management.*", "org.apache.logging.log4j.*"})
-- Irrelevant annotations removed for brevity --
public class DeclarationRulesDelegateTest extends RulesTest {
