parent project pitest failing but subprojects running fine if executed individually

Question

I am using gradle wrapper to run my pitest. I have parent build.gradle which has the pitest defined. My subprojects does not have any pitest. If I run the pitest on individual project for example gradlew clean :myproject:pitest. Then the pitest is successful. But if I try to run pitest from parent using gradlew clean pitest. Then it failes with the below error

Can any one direct what may be going wrong as I am using JUNIT 4.12 which is greater than 4.6 which is mentioned in the error.

In my experience, adding explicit dependency to Junit is needed although there are no tests in the submodule.

For me this fixed the problem:

<dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.11</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
