Unit Test JAR incompatibility ("NoSuchMethodError" error)

Question

I have several Unit Test in my Java (Spring Boot) app and after adding the following Unit Test (for caching test) it throws

Unexpected exception, expected<com.myproject.exception.InvalidOperationException> but was<java.lang.NullPointerException>

error after running all the tests.

@SpringBootTest
public class LabelCacheTest {

    @MockBean
    private LabelRepository labelRepository;

    @Autowired
    @InjectMocks
    private LabelServiceImpl labelService;

    @Test
    public void test_for_Cache() {
        List<LabelDTO> resultFromDatabase = labelService.findAll();
        List<LabelDTO> resultFromCache = labelService.findAll();

        verify(labelRepository, times(1)).findAllLabels();
        assertEquals(resultFromDatabase, resultFromCache);
    }
}

When I update mockito-core version in pom.xml, the problem is fixed when running this test, but when running all the tests, there are too many errors with the other tests.

I tried different mockito-core versions in pom.xml and some workarounds e.g. exclude and include mockito-core, etc. but none of them fixed my problem. So, how can I fix it?

Actually there is nothing specific related to error. Here is the full stacktrace related to my caching test:

Do you get a stacktrace? Which line in your test shows up in the stacktrace? — Dakshinamurthy Karra, Sep 28 '21 at 08:11
Looks like JAR incompatibility. Check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67432118/how-to-fix-this-error-java-lang-nosuchmethoderror-java-lang-autocloseable-org - something similar. — Dakshinamurthy Karra, Sep 28 '21 at 08:50
@DakshinamurthyKarra I already tried some workarounds on that page e.g. excluding and adding dependencies. But it does not work. Any idea or other solution? — , Sep 28 '21 at 09:01
Not really. I am sure that this is an incompatible jar issue. Getting a solution without environment is tough. — Dakshinamurthy Karra, Sep 28 '21 at 14:38
Trying some versions and updating `mockito-core` from to `3.4.3` fixed my problem. Thanks a lot all of you. — , Sep 28 '21 at 15:56
