Platform.getBundle(Activator.PLUGIN_ID) returns null

Question

I have a function for ex

public void func {
  ....
  ....
  URL url = Platform.getBundle(Activator.PLUGIN_ID).getEntry("config");
  ....
  ....
}

Now I am writing Junit test case for the above function which is in different test plugin. When I call func in my junit test method I am getting null pointer exception.

I tried printing

Platform.getBundle(Activator.PLUGIN_ID) which returns null
Platform.isRunning() which returns false.

Please let me know how to solve this? What I can do so that my JUnit testcase is successful.

Thank you in advance.

Just a Pseudo Code...

      private Platform platform;

      public void func() {
              //....
              //....
              URL url = getPlatForm().getEntry("config");
              //....
              //....
            }

        public Platform getPlatForm() {
            return platform.getBundle(Activator.PLUGIN_ID);
        } 


In your testcase,

   override the getPlatForm() method with a mock/stub.


  Class yourClass = new yourClass() {
   @override
   public Platform getPlatForm() {
        return mock/stub!!;
    }
  }
