When a project only has PowerMock declared and gets Mockito transitively through powermock-api-mockito, ReplacePowerMockito removes the PowerMock dependencies but never adds mockito-core. Reproduces moderneinc/customer-requests#1926
…moving it When a project gets Mockito only transitively through powermock-api-mockito, RemoveDependency leaves no Mockito dependency at all. Instead of removing and then adding (which runs into stale GradleProject marker issues with AddDependency), use ChangeDependency to convert powermock-api-mockito directly to mockito-core:3.x. Handles both powermock-api-mockito (Mockito 1) and powermock-api-mockito2 (Mockito 2) artifact names. Fixes moderneinc/customer-requests#1926

Summary
RemoveDependencyforpowermock-api-mockito(2)withChangeDependencytomockito-core:3.xmockito-coredependencyProblem
When a project declares only PowerMock dependencies (e.g.,
powermock-api-mockito) and gets Mockito transitively,ReplacePowerMockitoremoves the PowerMock dependencies but never addsmockito-core. The parent recipes (Mockito1to3Migration, etc.) useChangeDependencyandUpgradeDependencyVersionwhich only act on existing dependencies, so they can't help either.Result: code uses Mockito APIs but has no Mockito dependency after the recipe runs.
Solution
Instead of removing
powermock-api-mockito/powermock-api-mockito2and hopingAddDependencyfills the gap, useChangeDependencyto directly convert these PowerMock API dependencies intomockito-core:3.x. This avoids the stale resolved-dependency model issue whereAddDependencysees mockito-core as still transitively available through the (about-to-be-removed) PowerMock dependency.RemoveDependencyis kept only forpowermock-core(which has no Mockito equivalent).Test plan
