Solution 1

From the stack trace it seems like you are using the inline Byte Buddy mock maker which does not work on Android. Make sure that you have not included it transitively somehow as both plugins being available would load the one that is added to the class path first.

Solution 2

Working with Android replace

androidTestImplementation "org.mockito:mockito-core:$mockito_core_version"
androidTestImplementation "org.mockito:mockito-inline:$mockito_core_version"

for

androidTestImplementation "org.mockito:mockito-android:$mockito_core_version"

My version was: $mockito_core_version = '2.28.2'

Solution 3

I've got similar problem. I my case that was invalid declaration in resource/mockito-extensions/org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker file. During some refactoring process IDE replaced correct value:

mock-maker-inline

with this one:

infrastructure-maker-inline

I've noticed that accidental change while reviewing the commit diff because it didn't look suspicious for first look.

Solution 4

This helped me

androidTestImplementation("org.koin:koin-test:1.0.2")
{ exclude("org.mockito", "mockito-inline") }
androidTestImplementation("org.mockito:mockito-android:2.24.5")

Koin represents some library that contain org.mockito

Solution 5

I was having this issue and none of the solutions here worked for me. My problem was that I was mixing both mockito libraries

//BAD CODE
testImplementation "org.mockito.kotlin:mockito-kotlin:4.0.0"
testImplementation "org.mockito:mockito-android:3.3.3"


//GOOD CODE - just use one
testImplementation "org.mockito.kotlin:mockito-kotlin:4.0.0"

I'm using Mockito 2 and Espresso for Unit tests, and met a problem trying to use Mockito 2 in Instrumentation test. While running the test, I'm getting this error

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ANDROID USERS:

The regular Byte Buddy mock makers cannot generate code on an Android VM!
To resolve this, please use the 'mockito-android' dependency for your application:

And here is the test code.

 @Test
fun testUserResultReturnsEmpty() {

    val userMock = Mockito.mock(UserModel::class.java)
    Mockito.`when`(ArmOpApplication.getUserFromPrefs()).thenReturn(userMock)

    mActivityRule.launchActivity(Intent())
    mCountDownLatch.await(3000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)

    assertNotNull(mActivityRule.activity.mInsightCategories)

    assertNull(mActivityRule.activity.mData)
    assertNull(mActivityRule.activity.insightsRecyclerView.adapter)
}

I've googled for more information and found out, that I need to use mockito-android instead of mockito core, and added those lines in application's build.gradle file

androidTestImplementation "org.mockito:mockito-android:${libMockitoAndroidVersion}"
androidTestImplementation 'com.linkedin.dexmaker:dexmaker-mockito:2.2.0'

where libMockitoAndroidVersion = 2.16.0

Also, I've added org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker file into the androidTest resource directory to work with Kotlin's classes.
