Latest version of jupiter causes JVM to not be able to start JUnit due to missing method

[jimshowalter]

Tried upgrading to jupiter 5.11.0 as part of keeping all of our dependencies current, but got this error:

We are using the latest Gradle (8.10), although it did this with 8.7 as well (and we originally thought the Gradle upgrade was causing it).

Steps to reproduce

It's a little unclear how to reproduce this. We have some services that blow up like this, and others that don't, and they're all using the same versions of Gradle, Spring, Spring Boot, etc. We know you want a small reproducible test case, but are hoping you'll take one look at that stack and figure out what's going on.

It's likely there will be other reports of this in the next couple of weeks. Perhaps one of those reports will include a small reproducible test case.

Verify that the version of JUnit you are using is compatible with your current JVM version. You might need to upgrade your JVM or downgrade JUnit to a version that works. or If you're using Maven or Gradle, ensure all dependencies are up to date and that there are no version conflicts. Running mvn clean install or gradle clean build might help resolve issues. or Ensure your IDE is pointing to the correct JDK and that the build tools are correctly configured to use the appropriate versions of dependencies. Remember, Java is very sensitive to many things like compatibility and specific letter cases. Check that too.

[...] same versions of Gradle, Spring, Spring Boot, etc.

Do all services follow this or a similar guide https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#running-tests-build-spring-boot to configure JUnit with Spring Boot? Those stacktraces usually show when there's a mixture of JUnit Platform and Jupiter libraries.

[sbrannen]

@sormuras is correct.

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'boolean org.junit.platform.commons.util.ReflectionUtils.returnsVoid(java.lang.reflect.Method)'
	at org.junit.jupiter.engine.discovery.predicates.IsTestableMethod.test(IsTestableMethod.java:48)

That indicates that the version of the JUnit Jupiter Engine is not compatible with the version of the JUnit Platform Commons in the classpath.

Thus, you'll need to sort out your dependencies by using the JUnit BOM or upgrading your JUnit dependencies appropriately.

As @sormuras mentioned, we even have a dedicated section in the User Guide to address this: https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#running-tests-build-spring-boot

In light of the above, I am closing this issue.

[scordio]

You might consider pinning one of these issues or adding something to the issue template, considering how many times such tickets are raised 🙂

[jimshowalter]

All of our JUnit and Mockito dependencies are at the latest version.

[jimshowalter]

Actually not. It was platform commons after all. We've added a Gradle force directive to lock the version.

[sbrannen]

Actually not. It was platform commons after all. We've added a Gradle force directive to lock the version.

Glad to hear you sorted that out.

We'll investigate that in #3935.
