Mockito: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not create type" and "Mockito can only mock non-private & non-final classes."

Question

I have gone through multiple Stack Overflow posts but none of the suggested answers have thus far helped me.

Details:

Java 11
Mockito core 4.3.1
Byte Buddy 1.12.7
Spring beans 5.3.20
Sprint context 5.3.20

Error:

test1_standardSubgraph() (com.x.HelperTest)
org.mockito.exceptions.base.MockitoException: 
Mockito cannot mock this class: class com.x.ServiceClient.

Mockito can only mock non-private & non-final classes.
If you're not sure why you're getting this error, please report to the mailing list.

What I have tried so far:

1. Added bytebuddy as an explicit dependency as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/58200255/3188761

2. Ensured that no other dependency is bringing in another version of byte-buddy transitively except for mockito-core as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/62002689/3188761

3. Made sure the version of byte-buddy matches the one linked here https://github.com/mockito/mockito/blob/v4.3.1/gradle/dependencies.gradle#L7. Checked as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/63640379/3188761

4. Made sure that mockito is not brought in transitively by another dep like spring-boot-starter-test. I am not even using spring-boot-starter-test in my dependency. Checked as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/60210414/3188761

5. Tried downgrading to lower major version but still no luck.

Code:

ServiceClient.java:

public class ServiceClient {
    
    @Autowired
    public ServiceClient(ClientFactory factory) {
        ...
    }
}
