[v5]agent-java-testng - ItemID should not be null (Test item is not getting created)

While running the tests on Java+TestNG+LogBack with new version of agent-java-testng by pointing to V5 ReportPortal, i'm getting following exception. It used to work well until 5.0.0-BETA-6 version.

Exception in thread "TestNG-test=Multiple-1" java.lang.NullPointerException: ItemID should not be null

Unfortunately, TestNG made version 7 binary incompatible with version 6. We have to follow TestNG versions since there are a batch of users who want to move forward. And we have very limited resources to support many versions of TestNG.

Thank you, @HardNorth !

For anyone who end up with same issue, please update the TestNG version from 6.x.x to 7.x.x and update the TestNG version in IDE (in my case its Eclipse).
