Mockk 1.13.4 incompatible with newest Espresso 3.5.1

Current Behaviour

Can't compile the UI tests when both libraries are up to date.

Can you try merging your files that are conflicting, like this (in your app/build.gradle.kts file):

android {
   packagingOptions.resources.merges.addAll(listOf("META-INF/LICENSE.md"))
}

This is common with gradle dependencies that have matching file names and isn't specific to mockk

Could not find method listOf() .....

[Yeroshin]

packagingOptions {
exclude("META-INF/LICENSE.md")

}

also not worked

I'm on a previous version of Espresso, but had the same issue. This works:

packagingOptions {
	resources.excludes.add("META-INF/LICENSE.md")
	resources.excludes.add("META-INF/LICENSE-notice.md")
}
