java - Mockito error in Spring Boot tests after migrating to JDK 11

Question

I have just migrated to JDK 11 in order to use the latest Java LTS version. If I change the execution JRE in Eclipse from 10 to 11 (and only then), when I try to run my tests, I get the following exception stacktrace.

Please note that everything works as expected if I switch back to jdk-10. I use Spring Boot and my tests also use Mockito. My pom.xml is also shown here.

Is there a known incompatibility between Spring Boot and/or Mockito with jdk-11? Perhaps another reference missing in pom.xml?

Answer 1

Was the same problem. Add Mockito 2.22.0 to dependencies. Everything seems to work.

compile group: 'org.mockito', name: 'mockito-core', version: '2.22.0'
