Kluent: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kotlin/test/AssertionsKt Error

I have just added testImplementation ‘org.amshove.kluent:kluent-android:1.45’ to my Android project and when I run a simple test like this:

    @Test
    fun `this should be true`() {
            true.shouldBeTrue()
    }

the following error is thrown:
